Help Pichai keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for students and shift workers in Nakhon Ratchasima.
🇹🇭 Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand1,656 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Sunday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 291 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 52% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Nakhon Ratchasima 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 $800 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $360
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $360
• Baby formula and diapers: $55
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

hope it all works out, Pichai. More neighborhoods should do this.
your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Zagazig but we're thinking of you. All the best
Stay strong. Great idea, hope you get there!
rooting for you, Pichai. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dundee.
