Menu: Chicken rice porridge
Meals served: 150
It has been raining heavily in Phuket. To complement the windy cold, Sunee has made chicken porridge, which was much appreciated by all. Many lined up in raincoats to collect the food.
Overall, progress has been positive. We are distributing our meals steadily and more are turning up as they know we are able to provide food packs daily. This is exactly what we need to keep doing.
One of the challenges with many food relief programs here on the island (and everywhere else) is that they often need to happen overnight, the food bags are required immediately, else there is a disaster. This reactive giving makes for massive challenges in galvanizing people, resources and money, so any program will never achieve full potential. We want to avoid the lumpiness in our food distribution program, hence we believe it necessary to recognize that the food insecurity issues will continue through this year and we need to fund for it.
So please help in any way you would like. We appreciate volunteer resources to help pack food, we appreciate direct donations, or simply donate through our link on the site. Also, feel free to contact us should you have queries about the Hot meals project or wish to volunteer.
