Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Tuesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 188 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 52% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bekasi market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $250 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $30
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $175
Every share and every dollar helps.

I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
