Residents Giving Back with Bean Café

Every week, our residents volunteer with Bean Café to help prepare meals for Anchorage’s underserved community.

This ongoing initiative is more than just a volunteer opportunity—it’s a powerful act of service that brings people together. Residents dedicate their time and energy to chopping vegetables, stirring soups, plating meals, and serving with kindness. Each dish is prepared with care, knowing it will nourish someone in need.

Through this partnership, they’re not just giving back—they’re gaining purpose, confidence, and community.

Volunteering at Bean Café provides residents with a sense of accomplishment and belonging. Many of them arrive seeking stability and direction, and this simple act of service becomes a turning point. They learn new skills, rediscover their strengths, and build meaningful relationships with others who share their journey.

The café becomes more than a kitchen—it becomes a place of connection, healing, and growth. Our residents walk away with more than experience; they gain renewed self-worth and a deeper understanding of empathy and compassion.

Together with Bean Café, we are not only feeding th community—we are empowering individuals and transforming lives, one meal at a time.
