4. Women’s Bean Project:
Women’s Bean Project hires women with histories of incarceration, women who are ex-gang members and former addicts with multiple felonies and puts them to work manufacturing gourmet food items. Women’s Bean Project’s mission is to put itself out of business as the women leverage the program to break the generational cycle of poverty while producing items from bean soups, cornbreads, to hand packaged gift baskets and gift bundles and artisanal popcorns (White Popcorn with Chocolate Peppermint Sugar Seasoning, Blue Popcorn with Salted Caramel and Rainbow Popcorn with Salt & Pepper).
