Weekly meals for families facing hunger in Enugu
The the Thursday Table pantry in Enugu is running low just as demand rises; $500 will stock it for 6 weeks.
🇳🇬 Nigeria482 views
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 156 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Enugu 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 $500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $260
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $160
• Baby formula and diapers: $30
• Refrigeration and electricity: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Aisha. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours.
Keep going, Aisha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
hang in there, Aisha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
stay strong, Aisha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dar es Salaam.
Sending good thoughts, Aisha. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Gaya.
Best of luck, Aisha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
