Help Juan keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
The the Thursday Table pantry in Zapopan is running low just as demand rises; $1,250 will stock it for 9 weeks.
Anywhere in the world2,174 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 90 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 36% 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 Zapopan market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $540
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $420
• Baby formula and diapers: $175
• Refrigeration and electricity: $115
I hope life is good to you.

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Cebu City donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Zapopan.
Stay strong. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. God bless.
Thinking of you, Juan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Stay strong. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Juan. Shared this with my family. Take care
