Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Saturday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 324 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jacksonville market and keep every receipt.
Each $45 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 $2,700 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $730
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,250
• Baby formula and diapers: $400
• Refrigeration and electricity: $320
I hope life is good to you.
