Help Audrey keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
The the Thursday Table pantry in Hamilton is running low just as demand rises; $3,950 will stock it for 8 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 293 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 39% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Hamilton market and keep every receipt.
Each $55 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 $3,950 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $2,150
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,000
• Baby formula and diapers: $480
• Refrigeration and electricity: $320

Updates from Audrey
We're at 5% thanks to 9 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($165). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rice, beans, flour and oil.
Small update. $95 so far, I met with the wholesaler and confirmed the amounts.

Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Lafayette but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Lafayette.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Swansea but we're thinking of you.
