Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 119 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 36% this school holidays, 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 Hubballi market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday.
Where the $300 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $90
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $135
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $75
With deep gratitude,
Madhuri
