Weekly meals for families facing hunger in Eldoret

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Sunday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 68 each week. Donations have dropped by about 58% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Eldoret market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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 $550 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $290 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $145 • Baby formula and diapers: $95 • Refrigeration and electricity: $20 Glad we found this place.
