Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Monday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 269 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 35% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Obuasi 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 $450 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $30
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $290
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $130
Thanks for being kind about this.
