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. - Mehwish
