Help Nour keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for neighbors in need in Riyadh.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia1,484 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 148 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 58% this summer, 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 Riyadh market and keep every receipt.
Each $35 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $900 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $280
• Refrigeration and electricity: $240
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $380
With deep gratitude,
Nour
