Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 221 each week. Donations have dropped by about 38% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jaipur market and keep every receipt. Each $5 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 $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $145 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $80 • Baby formula and diapers: $105 • Refrigeration and electricity: $20 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • How is Kshitija doing now?

    • Thanks for sharing this, Kshitija. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

        Good luck, Kshitija. More neighborhoods should do this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Jaipur!

        • Sending good thoughts, Kshitija. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Makati.
