Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Sunday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 201 each week. Donations have dropped by about 44% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bacoor market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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 $600 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $340 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $190 • Baby formula and diapers: $50 • Refrigeration and electricity: $20 Thank you for reading my story. - Jocelyn
