Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 235 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 33% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Philadelphia market and keep every receipt.
Each $40 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,100
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,050
• Baby formula and diapers: $580
• Refrigeration and electricity: $220
I hope life is good to you.
