Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Sunday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 323 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 59% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Epe 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 $350 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $165
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $75
• Baby formula and diapers: $95
• Refrigeration and electricity: $15
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone, Kayode. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal
Praying for you, Kayode. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Minneapolis
how is Kayode doing now?
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Dortmund.
Stay strong, Kayode. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Stay strong, Kayode. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Epe.
