Kumasi
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Wednesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 322 each week. Donations have dropped by about 57% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Kumasi 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 $300 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $90 • Refrigeration and electricity: $50 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $160 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Samuel
