Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 117 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 33% this winter, 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 El Paso market and keep every receipt.
Each $45 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $840
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $950
• Baby formula and diapers: $210
• Refrigeration and electricity: $300
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Butwal.
