Weekly meals for elderly neighbors in Phuket
Kulap runs a volunteer pantry feeding 64 families; this fund restocks shelves for the rainy season.
🇹🇭 Phuket, Phuket, Thailand311 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Friday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 64 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Phuket market and keep every receipt.
Each $15 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 $550 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $140
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $350
• Refrigeration and electricity: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love, Kulap. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
