Weekly meals for students and shift workers in Makassar

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 133 each week. Donations have dropped by about 36% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Makassar market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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 $300 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $35 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $230 • Refrigeration and electricity: $35 Glad we found this place.
