22 OCT 2021 - 269 MEALS; 1239 MEALS FOR THE WEEK

Menu: Thai noodle salad, chicken porridge

Meals served: 269

We had volunteers from Agoda.com coming in today to help with the packing. It has been really helpful to get extra hands as that allows Sunee and her team to focus on cooking while the packing gets underway. We are always looking for volunteers so if you would like to pitch in, please email us at hotmealsphuket@icloud.com

We are happy to once again serve in excess of 1,000 meals this week. As far as we can tell, the queues are building up, we are seeing new faces and still there isn't enough to give away. When we started on this round of fundraising, it seemed like serving 150 meal packets a day would suffice, but we were so wrong. We are packing close to 300 a day now and it is going going going. We speak to the many that queue up and many are in partial work or full work at half pay, it's just tough for the average joe. Things seem to be opening up, but it will take time for the economy to normalize.

In the meantime, we know our hot meals make many happy. The local people of Phuket have many issues to deal with but we help with providing one hot meal a day. It costs us c. $1 to make and we use predominantly sustainable packaging. So please help us make our food relief program a success by donating! Please donate here.
