Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Friday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 12 families, and now we feed 104 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 31% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Depok market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 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 $250 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $135
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40
• Baby formula and diapers: $75
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Dewi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Sent it to 11 people at work. Thinking of Depok.
