Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 377 each week. Donations have dropped by about 40% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jakarta 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 $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $220 • Refrigeration and electricity: $40 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $90 Thanks for being kind about this. - Arief
