Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 292 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Sukkur market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $200 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $115
• Baby formula and diapers: $45
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this, Farah. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Sukkur!
Thank you. If you're in Sukkur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Hope things get better soon, Farah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Cairo.

shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Hubballi donated after I showed her your page. Love from Hubballi.
you're not alone. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Sukkur.
