Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Thursday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 131 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% 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 Stockholm market and keep every receipt.
Each $40 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 $1,800 goes:
โข Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,300
โข Refrigeration and electricity: $210
โข Baby formula and diapers: $290
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Greetings from Mumbai.
praying for you, Anna. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I hope August is when things finally get easier
thinking of you, Anna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Stockholm.
rooting for you, Anna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Wishing you peace, Anna. This could happen to any of us. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
