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. - Everett
