Help keep a free food pantry open for students and shift workers in Agra.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Tuesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 126 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Agra market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 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: $35
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $85
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $180
Thanks for being kind about this.

wishing you peace. Great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Wishing you peace, Manoj. This could happen to any of us. God bless
