Incheon
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 119 each week. Donations have dropped by about 50% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Incheon market and keep every receipt. Each $25 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 $1,150 goes: โ€ข Baby formula and diapers: $125 โ€ข Fresh vegetables and fruit: $840 โ€ข Refrigeration and electricity: $185 I hope life is good to you.
