Every month, The Screaming Bean makes a donation for a good cause and "This Month's Charity" is always on display in the shop.  That means a percentage of your purchase at The Screaming Bean goes to help a local charity. On July 22, The Screaming Bean had Muffin Monday where the profits from the sale of the muffins went to the non-profit, Voices of Hope. Later in the afternoon, all of the muffins were sold out. The Screaming Bean was proud to make this event happen. It was a promise that will continue to be kept which is service to the community. After all, the company's mission statement is etched on the wall inside the coffee shop, "Our job at The Screaming Bean is to make the world a better place than it was when we woke up this morning...but first, coffee."
