Weekly meals for neighbors in need in Nairobi

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 83 each week. Donations have dropped by about 39% this rainy season, 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 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 $400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $240 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $110 • Baby formula and diapers: $50 With deep gratitude, Apio
