Boxes of Cereal and Lasagna

To help feed our hundreds of volunteers and staff this summer, we need your help. Organize your church one Sunday to have each family donate one box of cereal to The Boston Project, gather some friends to prepare lasagnas (frozen, uncooked) for a dinner, or contribute yourself. We need in total 100 boxes of cereal and 45 lasagnas. Contact to contribute.

Children's Bikes for Bike Day

On Thursday, July 17 (new date) we will host our 4th annual Bike Day! Neighbors and sponsors come together to provide and repair bikes for local children and youth for summer fun. Bike decorating, bike washing, and safety training are all part of the fun. 20+ new or gently used bikes needed. Contact to volunteer or contribute.

New Summer Fund - Hope Partners

New Family Fun Night

Every Monday this summer, people of all ages are gathering at the future Elmhurst Park site for some good, old-fashion Family Fun. With food, board games, volleyball, double dutch and more, neighbors are enjoying time with one another. Join us from 7:30-9:00 PM. Special thanks to our sponsor.
