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. - Luke

  • 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.
