Help Tiffany keep the the Thursday Table pantry stocked
The the Thursday Table pantry in Leicester is running low just as demand rises; $1,600 will stock it for 12 weeks.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom1,709 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Friday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 219 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 51% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Leicester market and keep every receipt.
Each $45 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $730
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $330
• Baby formula and diapers: $360
• Refrigeration and electricity: $180
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
