Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 22 families, and now we feed 273 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 40% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Quezon City 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 $500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $190
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $210
• Baby formula and diapers: $45
• Refrigeration and electricity: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going. Hope you get there. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. After 8 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
