Weekly meals for families facing hunger in Kassel
Help keep a free food pantry open for families facing hunger in Kassel.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Tuesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 79 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 45% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Kassel market and keep every receipt.
Each $35 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,550
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,150
• Baby formula and diapers: $340
• Refrigeration and electricity: $160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love, Sabine. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Nottingham.
you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Kassel.
