Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 15 families, and now we feed 176 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this rainy season, 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 Bang Khen market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $320
• Baby formula and diapers: $85
• Refrigeration and electricity: $95
Thank you so much.

Sending strength, Ekkachai. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Bang Khen.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Bang Khen
Sending love, Ekkachai. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Saint Petersburg
