Help Waylon keep the Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry stocked
The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in San Diego is running low just as demand rises; $3,100 will stock it for 11 weeks.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Tuesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 386 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 42% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the San Diego 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 $3,100 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,650
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $710
• Baby formula and diapers: $570
• Refrigeration and electricity: $170
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
