Help Nomsa keep the Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry stocked

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Saturday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 68 each week. Donations have dropped by about 40% 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 Pietermaritzburg 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 $850 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $550 • Baby formula and diapers: $155 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $145 Thanks for reading all this. - Nomsa
