I am Women's Bean Project

The stories we most want to tell are those of the women who, against all odds, have turned their lives around. We hope that by sharing their stories of struggle, survival and, sometimes, triumph, we will give these women a voice.

Women’s Bean Project is a nonprofit social enterprise. We have a food manufacturing business tied directly to our transitional employment program. One cannot exist without the other. We believe all women have the power to transform their lives through employment. So we hire women who are chronically unemployed and we teach them to work making nourishing products that we sell across the U.S. Through their work at Women’s Bean Project, women learn to stand tall, find their purpose and break the cycle of poverty. Because when you change a woman’s life, you change her family’s life.
