Christchurch

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Tuesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 189 each week. Donations have dropped by about 51% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Christchurch market and keep every receipt. Each $35 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 $2,250 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,200 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $490 • Baby formula and diapers: $380 • Refrigeration and electricity: $180 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Landon
