Weekly meals for families facing hunger in Moscow
Ksenia runs a volunteer pantry feeding 105 families; this fund restocks shelves for the rainy season.
🇷🇺 Moscow, Moscow, Russia394 views
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 105 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 30% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Moscow market and keep every receipt.
Each $15 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $620
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $440
• Baby formula and diapers: $150
• Refrigeration and electricity: $90
If you're reading this, thank you.
