Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of a community center. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 340 each week. Donations have dropped by about 51% this harvest gap, 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 Aurangabad market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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 $450 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $190 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $170 • Baby formula and diapers: $50 • Refrigeration and electricity: $40 Thank you for reading my story. - Rahul

    Hope it all works out. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Aurangabad.
