Greg Lange

Founder Bangkok Community Help

Industry : Advocacy

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.
