Weekly meals for families and seniors in Dallas
The the Thursday Table pantry in Dallas is running low just as demand rises; $4,000 will stock it for 7 weeks.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 359 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% 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 Dallas 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 $4,000 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $2,050
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,300
• Baby formula and diapers: $440
• Refrigeration and electricity: $210
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

thinking of you, Greyson. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Sending strength, Greyson. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.
shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
