Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 344 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 59% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Saskatoon market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 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 $2,850 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,450
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $830
• Baby formula and diapers: $250
• Refrigeration and electricity: $320
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you the best, Yue. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares.
Sending strength, Yue. Shared it with a few friends
keep going, Yue. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Sakai this morning.
Sending love, Yue. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Yue. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Saskatoon.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Faisalabad.
stay strong, Yue. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
