Help keep a free food pantry open for elderly neighbors in Depok.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 309 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 31% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Depok 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 $250 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $150
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $75
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending strength, Siti. Gave what I could, wish it was more
So sorry you're going through this, Siti. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Üsküdar
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Campinas
Hope you get there. My neighbor in Allentown donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Depok.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Siti.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale) comes first ($150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Thinking of you and your family, Siti. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Siti?
Thank you. If you're in Depok I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Praying for you, Siti. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 17 people at work
Best of luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Take care.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless!
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Depok.
