Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 362 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Moscow market and keep every receipt.
Each $15 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 $900 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $500
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $190
• Baby formula and diapers: $140
• Refrigeration and electricity: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Nadia
23% there. the plan for baby formula and diapers is now scheduled. Thank you.
Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($189). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 7% funded and we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Nadia?
Thank you. If you're in Moscow I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Moscow. I'll ask around and let you know.
Sending strength, Nadia. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Moscow.
Thanks for sharing this, Nadia. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.

Keep going, Nadia. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We're a small family in Aurora but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Moscow!
