Feed 239 families each week at Bread & Beans Kitchen in Tel Aviv

The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in Tel Aviv is running low just as demand rises; $2,650 will stock it for 12 weeks.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 239 each week. Donations have dropped by about 51% 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 Tel Aviv market and keep every receipt. Each $50 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $2,650 goes: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $670 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,750 • Refrigeration and electricity: $230 I hope life is good to you. - Oren

    Exactly what I needed

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

      Thank you. If you're in Tel Aviv I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
