Feed 205 families each week at Bread & Beans Kitchen in Lagos

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Wednesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 205 each week. Donations have dropped by about 49% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Lagos 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 $250 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $45 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $180 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 Thank you for reading my story.
