Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 225 each week. Donations have dropped by about 47% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jakarta Barat 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 $250 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $40 • Baby formula and diapers: $30 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $180 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
