How Are We Different?
Many mission trips take volunteers to remote and challenging environments, but Rice & Beans Ministries offers a unique experience focused on your safety, the urgent needs of the communities we serve, and accessibility for U.S-based volunteers. Our target locations in Costa Rica and Brazil are known for their welcoming atmosphere, ensuring your trip is both fulfilling and secure. This focus on safety makes Rice & Beans Ministries a fantastic option for first-time mission trip volunteers, families, or church groups.
The needs in the communities we serve are overwhelming. Over 40,000 people in our areas of operation struggle with food insecurity, unsure of where their next meal will come from. Additionally, many individuals in our communities are migrants who do not have secure housing. Your participation with Rice & Beans Ministries directly addresses this critical issue, ensuring your time and effort make a tangible difference in the lives of others.
Lastly, our operations are remarkably close to the United States. Short travel times to Costa Rica and Brazil mean less time spent in transit and more time dedicated to serving those in need. This proximity also makes Rice & Beans Ministries ideal for shorter trips for those with limited vacation time. Our extensive experience (hosting over 7,000 volunteers!) ensures a well-organized and impactful experience.
Our focus on providing food, housing, and education for thousands of people each month translates your compassion into immediate and lasting change!
