Bean's Café is a small nonprofit organization based in Anchorage, Alaska. Incorporated in 1979, it runs a daytime program that provides hot meals, a safe day shelter, and information and referral services to health and human service programs, aiming to serve the city's poorest residents. The organization is stand-alone and non-sectarian, with a focus on the inherent dignity of individuals and on serving the homeless, the chronically mentally ill, the elderly in need, and families in temporary crisis. Operating within the civic and social organizations sector, Bean's Café functions as a community-based hub delivering meals, shelter, and access to health and human services for people in need. A notable recent development is a 2022 collaboration with TOTE Maritime Alaska to provide safety vests for homeless and vulnerable community members.
