Weekly meals for families and seniors in Fort Worth

Fort Worth
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of a community center. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 371 each week. Donations have dropped by about 53% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Fort Worth 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 $2,000 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,300 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $400 • Baby formula and diapers: $300 With deep gratitude, Rowan

    Sending love. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

    • Kendall J. Steele

      best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
