Rice & Beans Month

Welcome to the Rice & Beans Month website. We are glad that you’ve stopped by our corner of the web and hope you enjoy sampling our “mega bites”.

We are about to enter our third year of Rice & Beans Month. For those returning and reconnecting after past years of involvement – welcome back! For those pulling up this website for the first time – welcome, we are glad you’ve stopped in.

This month is about three key themes:

  1. Solidarity – standing with brothers and sisters in East Africa who live on limited incomes and cannot afford the nutrition their bodies need
  2. Simplicity – choosing to eat simple meals of rice and beans for the month of March
  3. Sharing – giving away the month’s savings to brothers and sisters in East Africa who could use some extra help with their nutritional needs

A Common Meal: Reflections and Recipes for Rice & Beans Month

This year we are rolling out a great new feature – a brand new book with reflections and recipes for Rice & Beans Month. It contains the story of how the month was created, Scripture passages that relate to the month, devotionals, prayers, application for children, photos, stories, and recipes. It’s an amazing resource, and we are putting together the final touches of this resource. If you choose to participate, make sure you buy one of these books off of Amazon, or send a request to our office at Lahash and we’ll send you out a free copy.

Thanks again for stopping by. Make sure you bookmark the website, sign up to receive email updates, and click “like” on our Facebook page.
