Feed 246 families each week at Bread & Beans Kitchen in Buenos Aires

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Monday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 246 each week. Donations have dropped by about 44% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Buenos Aires market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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 $700 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $410 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $175 • Baby formula and diapers: $55 • Refrigeration and electricity: $60 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
