Women's Bean Project

Women's Bean Project offers transitional employment opportunities with a wrap around program to women who come from backgrounds of chronic unemployment, poverty, or displacement. The women participating in the program produce soups, baking goods, gift boxes and other nutritional food items. In addition, they also attend computer classes, trauma skills classes, life skills classes, job coaching, and are provided with individual case management and assessments. The program provides the basic skills for them to get and keep permanent employment. While women work in a gourmet food manufacturing business, they learn interpersonal skills needed to function independently in the workplace and community. These tools empower women to create better lives for themselves (continued on schedule o) and provide their families with hope. Our mission is to provide our women with steppingstones to self-sufficiency.
