Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Thursday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 338 each week. Donations have dropped by about 58% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Riyadh market and keep every receipt. Each $20 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 $1,350 goes: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $520 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $590 • Baby formula and diapers: $240 Thanks for being kind about this. - Sara
