Help keep a free food pantry open for neighbors in need in Cleveland.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 15 families, and now we feed 211 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 37% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Cleveland market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 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 $1,150 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $810
• Baby formula and diapers: $230
• Refrigeration and electricity: $110
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

wishing you peace, Carlos. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Saint-Denis.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Carlos. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Bacolod.
wishing you the best. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. Love from Mumbai.
