Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 265 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Aurangabad market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 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 $550 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $270
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $195
• Baby formula and diapers: $50
• Refrigeration and electricity: $35
Glad we found this place.

How is Siddharth doing now?
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 37 people at work.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Kasarani so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you and your family, Siddharth. Great idea, hope you get there. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Love from Sylhet
