Weekly meals for families facing hunger in Entebbe
The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in Entebbe is running low just as demand rises; $350 will stock it for 9 weeks.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 22 families, and now we feed 382 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Entebbe 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 $350 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $55
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $135
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $160
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

thanks for sharing this, Onyango. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
more neighborhoods should do this. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Bornova.
Wishing you the best, Onyango. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Stay strong, Onyango. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 23 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Best of luck, Onyango. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
