Help keep a free food pantry open for families and seniors in Augsburg.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 74 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 31% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Augsburg 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 $2,550 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $490
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,850
• Refrigeration and electricity: $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

this could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bakersfield.
