Hi, my name is Kelli, and I am fundraising for an electric frying pan and some extras

They are human beings and they deserve a meal.

Every week, I head into the kitchen to prepare between 12 and 20 hot meals for the homeless and needy members of our community. I also bake biscuits and slices for the incredible volunteers at our local community centre—a place where people can get a hot shower, clean clothes, and a moment of dignity.

For a long time, I have funded this myself, spending $20 to $30 every week out of my own pocket to ensure no one goes without. I don’t judge the people I serve; whether they have faced jail time or struggle with addiction, they are my neighbors, and they deserve to be fed.

The Challenge Recently, my electric frying pan—the workhorse of my kitchen—finally broke. A quality replacement costs about $120, which is a stretch for my budget alongside the weekly cost of ingredients.

How You Can Help I am seeking to raise enough to replace the frying pan and perhaps a little extra to help cover the rising costs of food.

$120 will buy the new electric frying pan.

Any funds beyond that will go directly toward meat, vegetables, and baking supplies to keep these weekly meals going.

By donating, you aren’t just buying a kitchen appliance; you are providing a hot meal for someone who might not know where their next one is coming from.

Thank you for helping me look after our community. Every dollar helps!
