Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Wednesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 22 families, and now we feed 297 each week. Donations have dropped by about 49% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Kano 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 $350 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $105 • Refrigeration and electricity: $40 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $205 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Lilian
