Weekly meals for students and shift workers in Rajshahi

The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in Rajshahi is running low just as demand rises; $350 will stock it for 10 weeks.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Wednesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 314 each week. Donations have dropped by about 31% this rainy season, 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 Rajshahi 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: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $150 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $115 • Baby formula and diapers: $85 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Shuvo

  • Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from San Jose.

    • Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings

      • so sorry you're going through this, Shuvo. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Rajshahi.
