Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Wednesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 375 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 60% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Toronto market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 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 $3,450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,450
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,150
• Baby formula and diapers: $500
• Refrigeration and electricity: $350
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Prakash?

Take care, Prakash. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Butwal so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Aberdeen.
