The Women's Bean Project: Transforming Lives


The Women's Bean Project knows that empowering a woman is more than opening up a future for one.  The lives of her children, friends, and other family members are lifted.  The project dedicates itself to helping women break the cycle of poverty and unemployment.  The organization's mission is an ascent to self-sufficiency through social enterprise for every woman that participates in the program.

Job and life skill training is used to end problems like chronic unemployment and poverty.  The women, who are often former prisoners or drug users, tap their undiscovered talents and develop skills for the workplace.
With this stepping stone toward success, the women will be able to support themselves and their families and create stronger role models for future generations.   --Women's Bean Project
The 501 (c)(3) nonprofit makes and sells salsa mixes, spice rubs, coffee beans, and jelly beans in addition to  soups and chili, along with gift baskets, baking mixes, and much more.  The Women's Bean Project is rated highest at 4 stars by Charity Navigator.
