Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Sunday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 177 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 48% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Paris market and keep every receipt.
Each $25 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 $2,750 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,000
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,100
• Baby formula and diapers: $400
• Refrigeration and electricity: $250
I hope life is good to you.
