Help Ittipol keep the Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry stocked
The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in Bangkok is running low just as demand rises; $700 will stock it for 12 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 304 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 51% this harvest gap, 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 Bangkok 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 $700 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $270
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $350
• Baby formula and diapers: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

wishing you the best, Ittipol. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Ittipol. Great idea, hope you get there. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Moscow
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Bandung.
