Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Friday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 272 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 45% this rainy season, 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 Novosibirsk market and keep every receipt.
Each $20 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $950 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $340
• Refrigeration and electricity: $80
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $530
Glad we found this place.
