Help Hossain keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked

Rajkot
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 221 each week. Donations have dropped by about 30% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Rajkot market and keep every receipt. Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $500 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $280 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $140 • Baby formula and diapers: $50 • Refrigeration and electricity: $30 If you're reading this, thank you.
