Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Sunday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 132 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 59% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Nashik market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $250 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $165
• Baby formula and diapers: $65
• Refrigeration and electricity: $20
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Udaipur.
