Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Saturday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 82 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 30% this summer, 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 Gulu 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 $500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $260
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $145
• Baby formula and diapers: $70
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

sending love, Zawadi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Greetings from Leeds.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Gangnam donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
