Seoul
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Monday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 297 each week. Donations have dropped by about 47% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Seoul market and keep every receipt. Each $35 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $2,000 goes: โ€ข Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,100 โ€ข Fresh vegetables and fruit: $480 โ€ข Baby formula and diapers: $165 โ€ข Refrigeration and electricity: $255 Thank you so much.

    • Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Love from Yonkers!

      • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Latina.

        • Our local community center has an emergency fund, might be worth asking them!

            • hope you get there. We're a small family in Toronto but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Seoul.

              • Hope things get better soon, Jung-ho. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
