Feed 245 families each week at Bread & Beans Kitchen in Aurangabad

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Friday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 245 each week. Donations have dropped by about 32% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Aurangabad 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: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $105 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $310 • Refrigeration and electricity: $35 Thank you so much. - Chinmay
