Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Thursday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 211 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 31% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Mangaluru 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 $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $230
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $100
• Baby formula and diapers: $60
• Refrigeration and electricity: $60
With deep gratitude,
Anushka

Sending strength, Anushka. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer
So sorry you're going through this, Anushka. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Take care, Anushka. Hope this works out for you. After 24 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
