Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 63 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 49% this harvest gap, 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 Nagpur market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $260
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $90
• Baby formula and diapers: $45
• Refrigeration and electricity: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Tallahassee
