Help Nenita keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
The the Thursday Table pantry in Caloocan is running low just as demand rises; $450 will stock it for 9 weeks.
🇵🇭 Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines737 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Friday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 65 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 59% this school holidays, 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 Caloocan market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $240
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $90
• Baby formula and diapers: $95
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
