🇮🇪 Dublin, Leinster, Ireland1,532 views
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 398 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 41% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Dublin market and keep every receipt.
Each $25 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 $3,250 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,750
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $800
• Baby formula and diapers: $360
• Refrigeration and electricity: $340
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
