Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 198 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 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 $600 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $310
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $200
• Baby formula and diapers: $55
• Refrigeration and electricity: $35
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
