Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Friday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 74 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 49% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jakarta market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 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 $405 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $220
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $100
• Baby formula and diapers: $80
• Refrigeration and electricity: $5
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Fani?
Best of luck, Fani. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Sending strength, Fani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Great idea, hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
Good luck, Fani. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Victoria
