Help Alejandra keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for elderly neighbors in Móstoles.
🇪🇸 Spain2,202 views
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of a community center. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 309 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 60% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Móstoles market and keep every receipt.
Each $25 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $810
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $790
• Baby formula and diapers: $410
• Refrigeration and electricity: $190
Thank you for reading my story.
