Help Kioko keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
Kioko runs a volunteer pantry feeding 269 families; this fund restocks shelves for the summer.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 269 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Entebbe 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 $300 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $125
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $130
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck, Kioko. Hope this works out for you.
Take care, Kioko. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Best of luck, Kioko. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Kioko. More neighborhoods should do this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
So sorry you're going through this, Kioko. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Tel Aviv.
Sending love, Kioko. Hope you get there!
