Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Tuesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 330 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Moscow 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 $850 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $60
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $210
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $580
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this, Andrei. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Moscow.
Good luck, Andrei. Shared this with my family.
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in San Diego but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
hope it all works out, Andrei. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Andrei. Hope this works out for you. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
