Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 232 each week. Donations have dropped by about 32% this summer, 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 Mangaluru 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 $300 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $50 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $180 • Baby formula and diapers: $70 I hope life is good to you.

  • Hope it all works out. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

    • Stay strong, Sudha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Liverpool.

      • Good luck, Sudha. Shared this with my family
