Quezon City
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Friday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 258 each week. Donations have dropped by about 32% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Quezon City 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 $350 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $50 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $145 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $155 Thank you so much. - Divina

      Thinking of you, Divina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
