Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 175 each week. Donations have dropped by about 48% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Sacramento market and keep every receipt. Each $50 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $2,650 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $340 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,550 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $760 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Wayne

  • how is Wayne doing now?

    • Best of luck, Wayne. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Sacramento

        • Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
