Help keep a free food pantry open for families and seniors in Rohini.
🇮🇳 Rohini, Delhi, India854 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 22 families, and now we feed 254 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 30% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Rohini 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): $160
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $115
• Baby formula and diapers: $70
• Refrigeration and electricity: $5
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Vishnu. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. After 11 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Rohini.
wishing you peace, Vishnu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page.
