Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Monday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 148 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 33% this winter, 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 Pune market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $200 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $95
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $75
• Baby formula and diapers: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Toledo so I could bring a meal
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 3 people at work. Greetings from Ciudad de México
