Meaningful Volunteer Experiences.
Project Boon amplifies the power of community through events that bring together committed individuals, organizations, and the under-resourced.
Our name, boon, means the general good created by meaningful, accessible action. It comes out of a simple idea: that we’re all connected, and we all have the ability to help one another.
Why Project Boon?
Mission
At Project Boon, our mission is to build a compassionate community that transforms lives by providing essential support to families facing food insecurity by delivering groceries, school supplies, and holiday meals, extending the human connection to those who need it most.
Values
We are driven by the values of compassion, community, and empowerment. We create lasting impact by offering volunteer opportunities, collaborating with organizations, and ensuring that families have access to the resources they need to thrive.
Vision
Our vision is to empower families in the Inland Empire to break the cycle of poverty and achieve self-sufficiency, leading to a brighter and more secure future.
When we were children, the neighborhood pulled together when a family down the street faced tough times. Our community made an immediate impact, and we valued that human connection. Project Boon aims to continue to foster that connection, all while meeting our goal of helping the under-resourced.
What We've Accomplished
Give Without Reservation
Project Boon is proud to introduce our #GiveWithoutReservation initiative! We invite members of our communities to join us in volunteering, donating, and participating as we move the needle on food insecurity for families in need.

About Project Boon
Project Boon is a regional 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2011 that aims to combat food insecurity and provide volunteer opportunities in our community. The founders of Firm Media Inc and CASKS Restaurant Group started the organization intending to leverage the local business community to make a positive impact.
Project Boon amplifies the power of community through holiday-based events that bring together committed individuals, organizations, and the under-resourced. Its mission is to help those facing food insecurity make ends meet by distributing groceries and needed items such as school supplies and much-needed social services.
Project Boon provides hundreds of volunteer opportunities yearly, enabling businesses to give back to their communities through group volunteer days, donations, and sponsorship. The organization is proud to have served hundreds of thousands of meals and welcomed tens of thousands of volunteers since its inception. Project Boon is nearly 100% volunteer-based, and 80% of every dollar raised for the nonprofit goes back into the community.
Did you know that 67% of nonprofits in our region have revenues under $25k? If funding to nonprofits increased, we could strengthen these organizations, create more jobs, and induce local spending to ripple through the regional economy. Investing in nonprofits not only changes lives but also expands a key workforce that contributes to economic vitality and improved quality of life!
Planned giving to Project Boon can provide valuable support to the under-resourced in our community while allowing you to maximize your personal financial and philanthropic goals.
