Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Tuesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 209 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 51% 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 Kano market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $400 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $115
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $160
• Baby formula and diapers: $80
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope it all works out, Daniel. Shared it with a few friends.
Keep going. Great idea, hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Lalitpur so I could bring a meal.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 40 people at work. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Kansas City
