Feed 353 families each week at the Thursday Table in Duisburg

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 353 each week. Donations have dropped by about 57% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Duisburg market and keep every receipt. Each $50 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $1,200 goes: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $650 • Baby formula and diapers: $390 • Refrigeration and electricity: $160 If you're reading this, thank you.
