Lagos

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 222 each week. Donations have dropped by about 39% 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 Lagos market and keep every receipt. Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week. I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday. Where the $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $110 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $140 • Baby formula and diapers: $40 • Refrigeration and electricity: $60 If you're reading this, thank you.
