Product Description

Enjoy the rich collective blend that will build community at every gathering. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and envision the closest, most collaborative gathering possible. You'll imagine it's a soup with 1,000 beans, not just 10. A hint of spice gives it the rich and hearty flavor. You add the tomatoes. You can also add meats or vegetables to make it more of a stew. The 10 beans are layered for an attractive presentation to a hostess or your favorite chef. There's a spoonful of community with every serving. About the Women's Bean Project: Founded in Colorado in 1989, the Women's Bean Project creates a safe and accepting work environment for unemployed and impoverished women. The Project teaches job-readiness skills needed to obtain and keep a job and provides support services to overcome barriers. They also help women develop interpersonal skills needed to function independently in the workplace and community. With this stepping stone toward success, the women are able to support themselves and their families, and create stronger role models for future generations. Because of the Women's Bean Project, hundreds of women have benefited.
