Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 99 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Wollongong market and keep every receipt.
Each $45 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,750
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,350
• Baby formula and diapers: $390
• Refrigeration and electricity: $410
I hope life is good to you.
