Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Monday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 297 each week. Donations have dropped by about 47% this summer, 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 Seoul market and keep every receipt. Each $35 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $2,000 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,100 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $480 • Baby formula and diapers: $165 • Refrigeration and electricity: $255 Thank you so much.
