Badagry
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Saturday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 280 each week. Donations have dropped by about 46% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Badagry 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: • Baby formula and diapers: $30 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $125 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $145 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Kelechi

  1. Small update. $193 so far, we've started the first stage.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($73). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the wholesaler and confirmed the amounts.
