Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Sunday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 79 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 54% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Brasília market and keep every receipt.
Each $15 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $70
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $520
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $410
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
