Bean's Cafe

mission the mission of bean’s cafe is to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless without discrimination during the day. “the underlying premise of bean’s café is a deep belief in the inherent dignity of every person, a belief that people respond with kindness when treated kindly, with trust when trusted, and respectfully when respected. our aim is not to set up a value system – determining what is right or wrong – or a way of life for persons, but to allow them to form their own. in this situation a person is not pressured into acting in a special way, and their eventual response is free, lasting, and more fully themselves”. (copied from the original proposal to organize bean’s café – 1979). incorporated in february 1979, bean’s café is a stand alone, non-sectarian, 501(c)(3) non-profit agency. we are a community based and supported program. since 1979, we have maintained a center where the hungry and homeless are provided with hot nutritious meals, a warm and safe day shelter, inform
