Weekly meals for families and seniors in Guarulhos
Help keep a free food pantry open for families and seniors in Guarulhos.
🇧🇷 Guarulhos, São Paulo, Brazil1,422 views
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Saturday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 102 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 33% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Guarulhos market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $540
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $280
• Baby formula and diapers: $180

thinking of you and your family, Natália. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Natália?
Thank you. If you're in Guarulhos I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
