Thủ Đức
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 335 each week. Donations have dropped by about 58% 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 Thủ Đức market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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): $185 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $105 • Baby formula and diapers: $85 • Refrigeration and electricity: $75 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
