Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Sunday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 249 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 Jessore 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 $300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $105
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $75
• Baby formula and diapers: $70
• Refrigeration and electricity: $50
With deep gratitude,
Mahin

Wishing you the best, Mahin. This could happen to any of us. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
