Feed 175 families each week at Bread & Beans Kitchen in Faisalabad

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 175 each week. Donations have dropped by about 52% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Faisalabad 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 $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $180 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $105 • Baby formula and diapers: $55 • Refrigeration and electricity: $10 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
