Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Saturday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 71 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Dundee market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 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 $2,050 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $260
• Refrigeration and electricity: $190
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,600
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Luke. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
rooting for you, Luke. Great idea, hope you get there. All the best
