Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Tuesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 15 families, and now we feed 155 each week. Donations have dropped by about 49% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Santa Rosa 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 $300 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $135 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $90 • Baby formula and diapers: $40 • Refrigeration and electricity: $35 With deep gratitude, Cesar

    Take care, Cesar. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in The Hague but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
