Help Charles keep the Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry stocked

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Friday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 70 each week. Donations have dropped by about 43% this school holidays, 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 Mississauga market and keep every receipt. Each $40 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $2,150 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $260 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,150 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $740 With deep gratitude, Charles
