Feed 328 families each week at the Thursday Table in Mthatha

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Saturday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 328 each week. Donations have dropped by about 31% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Mthatha 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 $500 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $145 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $260 • Refrigeration and electricity: $95 I hope life is good to you.
