Help Guy keep the Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry stocked

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Sunday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 350 each week. Donations have dropped by about 60% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Beersheba market and keep every receipt. Each $35 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 $3,300 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,450 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,100 • Baby formula and diapers: $590 • Refrigeration and electricity: $160 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • sending strength, Guy. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.

    • what's already covered and what's the $3,300 for?

      • Guy MalkaOwnerAnswerVerified organization

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale) comes first ($1,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

    • So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Sandton donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

      • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Guy?

        • Guy MalkaOwnerAnswerVerified organization

          Thank you. If you're in Beersheba I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
