Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 98 each week. Donations have dropped by about 42% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Gwagwalada 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 $600 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $270 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $220 • Baby formula and diapers: $60 • Refrigeration and electricity: $50 Thanks for being kind about this.
