Help Mateo keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
The the Thursday Table pantry in Glasgow is running low just as demand rises; $1,950 will stock it for 8 weeks.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 383 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 40% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Glasgow market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 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 $1,950 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $460
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,350
• Refrigeration and electricity: $140
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
