Help Elsa keep the Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry stocked

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Monday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 280 each week. Donations have dropped by about 57% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jakarta Barat 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 $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $145 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $80 • Baby formula and diapers: $65 • Refrigeration and electricity: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
