Weekly meals for neighbors in need in Ubud

🇮🇩 Ubud, Bali, Indonesia553 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 160 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this school holidays, 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 Ubud 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 $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $150
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $165
• Baby formula and diapers: $80
• Refrigeration and electricity: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you, Siti. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Addis Ababa.
Take care. Great idea, hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
