Help Kshitija keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
The the Thursday Table pantry in Hyderabad is running low just as demand rises; $500 will stock it for 6 weeks.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 315 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Hyderabad 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 $500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $200
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $210
• Baby formula and diapers: $50
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40
With deep gratitude,
Kshitija

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kshitija.
It's all in the list in the story. rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale) is the big one at $200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
