Can your dinner help reduce Poverty?

“It’s not about the beans. It’s about the women.”

The Tomorrow Project, a program of Rachel’s Women’s Center, sponsored by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of San Diego, helps homeless women learn job-readiness skills and small business expertise. The women, who deal with a range of barriers to self-suffiency including substance abuse and psychological issues, assemble and sell a unique array of homemade soup mixes. They learn job-readiness skills, gain confidence and receive counseling to help them "visualize a brighter future of self-sufficiency and independent living."

Supporting programs such as The Tomorrow Project is another easy way to help reduce poverty.  Learn more about the project and order soups at www.tomorrowproject.org.
