Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Wednesday from the back of a community center. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 316 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 36% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Seoul market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $880
• Refrigeration and electricity: $210
• Baby formula and diapers: $160
Thank you so much.

Keep going. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Thrissur.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Kanpur.
Hope it all works out, Ga-eun. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Seoul.
You're not alone, Ga-eun. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Wishing you peace, Ga-eun. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page
