Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 282 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Berlin market and keep every receipt.
Each $35 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 $1,400 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $560
• Refrigeration and electricity: $130
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $710
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Philipp. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
