Help keep a free food pantry open for families and seniors in Rawalpindi.
🇵🇰 Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan762 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 80 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 45% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Rawalpindi market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 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 $250 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $125
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $85
Thank you so much.
