Help Eunice keep the Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry stocked

The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in Jinja is running low just as demand rises; $500 will stock it for 8 weeks.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Friday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 220 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 Jinja 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 $500 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $200 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $175 • Baby formula and diapers: $65 • Refrigeration and electricity: $60 Thanks for being kind about this.
