Help Finn keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
The the Thursday Table pantry in Amsterdam is running low just as demand rises; $2,350 will stock it for 8 weeks.
🇳🇱 Netherlands3,941 views
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 238 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 51% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Amsterdam market and keep every receipt.
Each $25 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 $2,350 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $870
• Baby formula and diapers: $320
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,160
With deep gratitude,
Finn

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Finn
Fresh vegetables and fruit is $870 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page. Love from London
Keep going, Finn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thinking of you and your family. More neighborhoods should do this. My husband and I read this together. All the best
how is Finn doing now?
so sorry you're going through this, Finn. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 39 people at work. Blessings.
thinking of you, Finn. This could happen to any of us.
keep going, Finn. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Kano.
