Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Wednesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 281 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Kano market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $320
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $110
• Baby formula and diapers: $70
• Refrigeration and electricity: $50
Thank you for reading my story.
