Help Jahid keep the Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry stocked
The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in Liverpool is running low just as demand rises; $2,400 will stock it for 7 weeks.
🇬🇧 Liverpool, England, United Kingdom2,322 views
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 211 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 50% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Liverpool market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 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 $2,400 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,200
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $750
• Baby formula and diapers: $230
• Refrigeration and electricity: $220
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Jahid. More neighborhoods should do this. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Dortmund.
Wishing you peace, Jahid. Shared it with a few friends. After 29 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Bangkok.
Keep going, Jahid. Your post was clear and honest
Sending love, Jahid. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hang in there. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Liverpool.
