Durham

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Friday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 12 families, and now we feed 291 each week. Donations have dropped by about 46% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Durham market and keep every receipt. Each $45 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 $1,950 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $490 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,200 • Refrigeration and electricity: $260 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
