Weekly meals for families and seniors in Eldoret
The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in Eldoret is running low just as demand rises; $500 will stock it for 12 weeks.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Sunday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 225 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 53% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Eldoret 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 $500 goes:
β’ Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $210
β’ Fresh vegetables and fruit: $155
β’ Baby formula and diapers: $100
β’ Refrigeration and electricity: $35
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace, Muthoni. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best!
