Feed 333 families each week at Bread & Beans Kitchen in Mombasa
The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in Mombasa is running low just as demand rises; $500 will stock it for 9 weeks.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 333 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 30% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Mombasa market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $175
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $210
• Baby formula and diapers: $75
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40
