American entrepreneur Greg Lange, owner of the Mexican chain Sunrise Tacos and several Subway outlets in Bangkok, is the founder of Bangkok Community Help. With experience running a charity in the US, he now volunteers providing hot meals, bags of rice and other supplies to families in need during the Covid-19 pandemic. At the start of 2020, he was approached by members of the Klong Toei community asking to use the kitchen of his restaurant to prepare hot meals for people living in the area. This got him interested in helping others as well. He started visiting slums and soon realised that many were facing problems which included dirty garbage sites infested by rats, dilapidated houses, lack of food, basic sanitation facilities among many others. He and his deeply committed volunteers began to work on various re-painting, cleaning, renovation, and construction projects. This group’s work inspired more local and expat volunteers to join hands and that’s when Bangkok Community Help was formed. He now volunteers with the group “Dinner From the Sky” and shares his experiences on the Bangkok Community Help Facebook page.
