Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 339 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 57% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Houston market and keep every receipt.
Each $55 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $320
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,300
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
