Weekly meals for students and shift workers in San Nicolás de los Garza
The Bread & Beans Kitchen pantry in San Nicolás de los Garza is running low just as demand rises; $1,200 will stock it for 6 weeks.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 69 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 49% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the San Nicolás de los Garza market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $610
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $320
• Baby formula and diapers: $165
• Refrigeration and electricity: $105
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts, Emilio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Emilio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Mohammedia but we're thinking of you.
