Feed 139 families each week at Bread & Beans Kitchen in Bahir Dar

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Saturday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 139 each week. Donations have dropped by about 57% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bahir Dar 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: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $80 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $100 • Baby formula and diapers: $70 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Roman
