Feed 180 families each week at the Thursday Table in Soweto

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 180 each week. Donations have dropped by about 30% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Soweto market and keep every receipt. Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week. I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday. Where the $650 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $105 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $190 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $355 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
