Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 85 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 54% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Khulna 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 $300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $115
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $120
• Baby formula and diapers: $45
• Refrigeration and electricity: $20
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
