Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 280 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bogotá market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $340
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $165
• Baby formula and diapers: $95
Thank you for reading my story.
