Bean's Cafe Anchorage, AK 99501 907.274.9595	Details: The Mission of Bean's Cafe is to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless without discrimination during the day.

Our aim is not to set up a value system â€“ determining what is right or wrong â€“ or a way of life for persons, but to allow them to form their own. In this situation a person is not pressured into acting in a special way, and their eventual response is free, lasting, and more fully themselvesâ€.
