Weekly meals for students and shift workers in Bangkok
Help keep a free food pantry open for students and shift workers in Bangkok.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 339 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bangkok 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 $600 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $260
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $145
• Baby formula and diapers: $110
• Refrigeration and electricity: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
