Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 208 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 45% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bengaluru 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 $400 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $140
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $185
• Baby formula and diapers: $35
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
