Welcome to Bean's Café!

"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"

Bean's Cafe & The Children's Lunchbox need your help!!!

Our funding is at risk! Budget cuts are the talk of the town lately, and Bean’s Cafe and The Children’s Lunchbox are set to lose over $95,000! Bean’s Cafe and The Children’s Lunchbox are the largest recipients of the Anchorage Municipality’s Human Services Community Matching Grant (HSCMG). We were awarded a combined total of $365,980 for 2015. These funds go towards providing meals and referrals to Anchorage’s hungry and homeless, as well as providing weekend meals to children at seven Title 1 schools in our community. A cut of $95,000 is more than 25% of those funds.
