Everyone has a special place in their heart for different charities and groups of people in need. In fact, some like me, have so many that it can be tough to donate to each of them! But by purchasing food items and gifts from the Women’s Bean Project, I not only get delicious things to eat BUT I’m also giving to those in need! I can’t think of a better match than a full belly and a giving heart.

My Thoughts:
As I mentioned before, I like knowing that by buying products and gifts from the Women’s Bean Project, my family is making a difference in someone’s life. This non-profit got its start in 1989 by Josepha “Jossy” Eyre. She wanted to help the women she came into contact with at the shelter. Jossy saw these women were unemployed, homeless, sometimes convicted felons or even domestic abuse victims. She literally spent $500 on dried beans and hired two women to make bean soup.
Our training opportunities have expanded dramatically over 25 years, and our annual operating budget has grown from $6,100 to over $1.7 million.
As if giving to others wasn’t enough, the food has been tasty too! We are huge popcorn eaters in this house, and while there’s nothing wrong with good old fashioned butter & salt toppings. sometimes it’s nice to spice it up. Whether we’re tossing the chocolate peppermint sugar on top or adding the salted caramel seasoning, we can’t go wrong. The gift basket would also make a fine present for any holiday or even a housewarming gift since it includes so many products like their 10 Bean Soup Mix, cornbread mix, and even spice blends!
Beyond the popcorn and awesome gift baskets, you can also purchase handmade jewelry, clothing items, coffee & tea, and a ton of other things.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or you need some gift ideas, be sure to check out the wonderful selections of popcorn, gift baskets and more from the Women’s Bean Project.
