Help Wulan keep the the Second Helping pantry stocked
The the Second Helping pantry in Jakarta is running low just as demand rises; $300 will stock it for 10 weeks.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Sunday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 296 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 55% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jakarta 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 $300 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $20
• Baby formula and diapers: $35
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $245
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Wulan?
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 17 people at work. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Jakarta.
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Onitsha
