Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 235 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 53% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Zapopan 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 $800 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $350
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $300
• Baby formula and diapers: $55
• Refrigeration and electricity: $95
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Ramón
We're at 24% thanks to 11 of you. I made the first payment toward fresh vegetables and fruit. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($148). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for rice, beans, flour and oil is now scheduled.
16% there. I met with the wholesaler and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Hang in there, Ramón. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Selatan so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Leicester
Thinking of you and your family, Ramón. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Narayanganj.
