Weekly meals for families and seniors in Iztapalapa
The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in Iztapalapa is running low just as demand rises; $600 will stock it for 10 weeks.
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico477 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Sunday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 154 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 35% this summer, 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 Iztapalapa market and keep every receipt.
Each $15 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 $600 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $110
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $320
• Baby formula and diapers: $170
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

hope it all works out, Adrián. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kozhikode.
how is Adrián doing now?
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. All the best!
good luck, Adrián. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 25 people at work. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Adrián. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from New Delhi.
Sending strength, Adrián. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Davao City donated after I showed her your page!
