Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 364 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Niterói market and keep every receipt.
Each $20 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 $600 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $220
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $190
• Baby formula and diapers: $80
• Refrigeration and electricity: $110
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
