Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 22 families, and now we feed 239 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Aurangabad 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 $250 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $145
• Baby formula and diapers: $75
• Refrigeration and electricity: $30
Thanks for being kind about this.
