Help Joyce keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
The the Thursday Table pantry in Quezon City is running low just as demand rises; $450 will stock it for 8 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Saturday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 393 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Quezon City market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 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 $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $330
• Refrigeration and electricity: $30
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $90
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
