Feed 351 families each week at Bread & Beans Kitchen in Kinondoni

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 351 each week. Donations have dropped by about 46% this rainy season, 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 Kinondoni 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 $400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $155 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $120 • Baby formula and diapers: $75 • Refrigeration and electricity: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Peter
