Half goes straight to food: fresh produce from Greenway Grocers at cost, dairy, and the staples that run out first — rice, oil, tinned fish.

A quarter keeps the kitchen open longer: two extra paid cooks, gas for the ovens, and the walk-in fridge that is older than some of our volunteers.

The rest funds the warm room: coffee, soup, a few couches and someone to talk to between 1 and 5.
