Women's Bean Project
The Women's Bean Project is a social enterprise that offers a transitional job in gourmet food manufacturing designed to provide immediate income, arrange support services to overcome barriers to employment, and teach the job readiness skills needed to get and keep a job. Program participants come from backgrounds of chronic unemployment and poverty, and the program helps them develop the work and interpersonal skills needed to function independently in the workplace and community. These tools empower women to create better lives for themselves, provide their families with hope, and contribute to a stronger community. Products made by Women’s Bean Project include mixes for foods such as bean soup, chili, cookies and brownies, corn bread and more and are sold on their website, in stores across the U.S., as well as on Amazon.com.
