~   Fighting Poverty One Bead at a Time!  ~

Our Story  -
In August of 2004 the need to look for new sources of discretionary funding resulted in the creation of  Beads in a Box (BIAB).     BIAB  is a non-profit, hand-designed jewelry business.   The BIAB line is created by volunteers and it’s mission is to raise discretionary funding for our community service programs.   Community Action Partnership of Mid-Nebraska is a non-profit community service agency that assists low-income, elderly, disabled, women, children, parents and single heads-of-households.   Our numerous community service programs help people and change lives that cover 27 counties in south-central Nebraska and 2 in North-Central Kansas.    Learn more  of our story at www.communityactionmidne.net.

When volunteers couldn’t keep up with the demand and the economy took a downturn, BIAB expanded their selection, color choices, and price points by adding the Something For Everyone hand-selected, purchased line of jewelry.  The combination of the hand-designed and hand-selected purchased lines have proven to be successful.  Our store is portable and travels to special events, conferences, and conventions coast to coast. 

To broaden our appeal, we have created Bazangles, a line of pins, bag-tags and magnets we are offering to retail outlets across the U.S.   Bazangles was created by taking geometric pen drawings and making them into small, wearable works of art.  We have expanded by creating a line of nature drawings, stick kid art and colorful owls called Whooterz.  This line of BIAB is in it's infancy, but has been well received by retailers at the America Craft Retail Expo.

Find us at a variety of stores and a selection may be viewed in our Administrative office in Kearney, Nebraska, at 16 West 11^th Street by appointment only.
