Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 215 each week. Donations have dropped by about 33% this rainy season, 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 Nakhon Ratchasima market and keep every receipt. Each $15 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $550 goes: โ€ข Refrigeration and electricity: $40 โ€ข Baby formula and diapers: $195 โ€ข Fresh vegetables and fruit: $315 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
