PHUKET: At least 36 ”Community Pantries” have been set up across Phuket for people to use for free if they urgently need food, and for people to leave donations of packaged food those in need.

 

The pantries, also called “Too Pun Suk” (or “shared pantries of happiness”), contain dried foods and cooking ingredients, such as rice, eggs, cooking oil, instant noodles, canned foods adn some even contain vegetables.

 

The goods in the pantries are free for people who are suffering from the COVID-19 crisis, so they can reduce their expenses and provide food for their families. Other people who are in a better financial position can donate items to the pantry to help people less fortunate than themselves.
