Weekly meals for elderly neighbors in Abuja

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 90 each week. Donations have dropped by about 46% this summer, 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 Abuja 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 $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $165 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $90 • Baby formula and diapers: $40 • Refrigeration and electricity: $55 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Daniel
