Beans for Books (Incorporated) is a nonprofit organization created by five students from Chariho High School located in Wood River Junction, Rhode Island. Beans for Books takes money given through donations and uses the funds to purchase new and updated textbooks. About Beans for Books The concept for Beans for Books came to founder David Lanning, Jr. in October 2007 while working at his family's coffee shop. Involvement with the coffee business lead to the resources and experience necessary to start Beans for Books. Through the help of teachers at Chariho Regional High School and Dave's Coffee Shop (where Lanning works), Beans for Books became an official, state approve nonprofit organization in December 2007. New Year's 2008 marked the first week of operations from the organization. To date, roughly $400 has been raised for the purchase of new and updated textbooks. The organization has seen recent media exposure, most notably with a featured article in The Providence Journal and a new segment on NBC 10 WJAR.
