Help Lieke keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
Lieke runs a volunteer pantry feeding 317 families; this fund restocks shelves for the rainy season.
🇳🇱 Netherlands3,138 views
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 317 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Haarlem 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 $3,300 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $320
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,200
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,780
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
