Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Sunday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 310 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 56% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Nairobi 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 $650 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $115
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $155
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $380
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
