Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Tuesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 160 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 48% 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 Lalitpur market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $270
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $70
• Baby formula and diapers: $60
• Refrigeration and electricity: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
