Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 390 each week. Donations have dropped by about 56% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Kandy market and keep every receipt. Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $500 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $250 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $125 • Baby formula and diapers: $105 • Refrigeration and electricity: $20 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
