Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 161 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 56% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Karachi market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 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 $500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $260
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $135
• Baby formula and diapers: $50
• Refrigeration and electricity: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
