DENVER — At the Women's Bean Project in Denver's Athmar Park neighborhood, you'll find soup mixes, spices, and snacks packed by women getting a fresh start.'We hire women experiencing chronic unemployment, and together, we work to help them overcome their barriers so that they can move on to mainstream employment in the community,' said Tamra Ryan, CEO of the Women's Bean Project.Ryan believes employment can break down barriers.
'The nonprofit relies partly on purchases and donations, but volunteers like Jen Spahr, a retired consultant, bring even more to the production floor.“Having the women see someone who has worked, has developed these skills over time,' said Spahr. 'This is invaluable, and it's something that a check can't necessarily do.”Spahr's role includes teaching and mentoring these women every step of the way.
