The Beans and Rice Collaborative

Eating simply with a missional purpose

basic modus operandi

  • 5 days (Monday-Friday) of eating beans & rice plus a simple veggie for lunch and supper.
  • Community Supper available throughout the week with a closing communal meal Friday evening for all participants to celebrate and debrief.
  • Money saved (plus any additional amounts) will go to: 1) Compassion kids suffering from food emergencies; and/or 2) buying essential items for a needy local food pantry.

Other details:

  • No alcohol or ‘fancy’ beverages
  • No desserts
  • Breakfast is free form, simplicity encouraged.
  • Written pledge to sign (adds seriousness)
  • During the 5 days Flavio & Beth (and possibly others) will open their kitchen and dining room every evening for those who want to stop by for beans & rice supper (bring your tupperware and take home leftovers for lunch).
