Feed 181 families each week at Bread & Beans Kitchen in Embakasi

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Wednesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 181 each week. Donations have dropped by about 33% this harvest gap, 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 Embakasi market and keep every receipt. Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $650 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $320 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $220 • Baby formula and diapers: $60 • Refrigeration and electricity: $50 Every share and every dollar helps. - Naliaka
