Trying to find a unique gift for a new home owner is always challenging. Especially when you don’t know what they need. You can always stay on the safe side and Ask if there is anything that they would like -but then you chance them saying – No I really dont need anything. Then you’re stuck again. So while searching for a great Housewarming Gift I came across the Gift Baskets Made by the Women’s Bean Project.
A little about the Bean Project: The women hired at the Bean Project have histories of poverty and unemployment; they lack hope and self-confidence; most do not have a GED or high school diploma; most are single mothers and have been on public assistance; many are recovering from experiences with substance abuse and incarceration. Women find the Bean Project many different ways, but most often are referred by graduates and current program participants. Parole officers, shelters and other service agencies all refer women to the Bean Project. The Women’s Bean Project is a social enterprise that offers a transitional job in gourmet food manufacturing designed to provide immediate income, arrange support services to overcome barriers to employment, and teach the job readiness skills needed to get and keep a job. Program participants come from backgrounds of chronic unemployment and poverty, and the program helps them develop the work and interpersonal skills needed to function independently in the workplace and community. But the Women’s Bean Project does not hire women to make and sell bean products. We make and sell bean products to hire women. Women produce the goods that are sold nationwide as they develop the work and interpersonal skills needed to function independently and effectively in the workplace and community.
I have had the chance to receive a Housewarming Basket from the Bean Project. I will have to say, this is one gift basket that I didn’t want to opening. It was beautifully packed and defiantly made with love. Included was a tea mix and bean soup mix, apron and much more. You can tell that the ladies who put these baskets together care about what they do. This basket has a very inexpensive price tag. At only 40.00 … you couldn’t ask for a better gift to give someone
