Rice & Beans Foundation

Provide immediate nutritional assistance to families in Nicaragua and residual economic assistance by purchasing the products locally.

Rice and Beans Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt public charity started by Tracy Bremmeyer, Dr. Sidney Brooks, Kelley Clark, Sabrina Seldal, and Braden Siekkinen. While we were on a medical dental mission trip we decided we wanted to help provide food for the malnourished and most impoverished. We chose rice and beans because of its nutrient content, it needs no refrigeration and the smallest amount/donation can feed families. All of the money donated goes to purchase and delivery of the rice and beans. And yes it is tax deductible. While right now we provide assistance only in Nicaragua, our intent and hopes are to be able to grow and provide rice and beans to many impoverished countries in the future. It is also our ultimate goal to provide opportunities for the average person to be able to participate in the missions trips and disbursement of the rice and beans.
