Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Monday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 111 each week. Donations have dropped by about 42% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jakarta 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 $450 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $200 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $115 • Baby formula and diapers: $90 • Refrigeration and electricity: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Hesti

  • Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. After 8 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
