Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Saturday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 182 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 35% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Fort Worth market and keep every receipt.
Each $55 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $520
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,550
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $780
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Jonathan?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about baby formula and diapers, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Lucknow.
Best of luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Greetings from Mumbai.
