Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 61 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Düsseldorf market and keep every receipt.
Each $45 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,300
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $810
• Baby formula and diapers: $370
• Refrigeration and electricity: $120
Thanks for being kind about this.
