Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 340 each week. Donations have dropped by about 33% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Coventry 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 $1,750 goes: โ€ข Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $670 โ€ข Fresh vegetables and fruit: $710 โ€ข Baby formula and diapers: $210 โ€ข Refrigeration and electricity: $160 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
