Help Rafiq keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
The the Thursday Table pantry in Bogra is running low just as demand rises; $300 will stock it for 10 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 360 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 Bogra 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 $300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $140
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $55
• Baby formula and diapers: $65
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. God bless
