Jakarta Selatan

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 180 each week. Donations have dropped by about 41% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jakarta Selatan market and keep every receipt. Each $5 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 $450 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $280 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $60 • Baby formula and diapers: $85 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 With deep gratitude, Yuni

Updates from Yuni

Good news. Because of your gifts ($81 in total) I met with the wholesaler and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 35% thanks to 4 of you. the plan for fresh vegetables and fruit is now scheduled. More news soon.
Update from Jakarta Selatan: the plan for refrigeration and electricity is now scheduled. We're at 40% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
