Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 139 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bowling Green market and keep every receipt.
Each $60 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 $3,250 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,300
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $890
• Baby formula and diapers: $710
• Refrigeration and electricity: $350
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
