Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Thursday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 166 each week. Donations have dropped by about 44% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Luxor 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): $290 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $105 • Baby formula and diapers: $45 • Refrigeration and electricity: $10 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Aisha
