Eat & Be Well – Thanksgiving
November 26, 2025
8380 Cypress Ave, Fontana, CA 92335
Eat & Be Well is a one-day event to celebrate Thanksgiving by supporting the under-resourced people in San Bernardino County. Eat & Be Well allows the community to come together to share a meal and express gratitude while ensuring attendees are provided with the opportunity to access essential social service organizations that can change their lives. Each year multiple community-minded organizations come together to serve individuals and families facing the challenges that accompany unemployment, health issues, and other related concerns.
Holiday Toy Drive
December 2025
Project Boon is partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Inland Empire to expand the impact of the annual Holiday Drive. Through this collaboration, Project Boon will provide groceries for 150 families and organize 15–20 volunteers to support the event, which aims to serve over 250 children and their families. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to community support, ensuring families in need receive essential resources during the holiday season.
Operation Devolver Backpack Event
Devolver. Return. Giving Back.
Back-to-school time for most means shopping for school supplies and getting ready for the upcoming year. In the tarp city of Barranca in Tuxpan near Jalisco, Mexico, families do not have the means to send their children back to school with the supplies they need for a successful year. These families receive very little government support. Their homes lack basic necessities. Project Boon knows these families should not have to face these challenges alone. The Project Boon team travels to the city of Tuxpan before the start of the school year to distribute backpacks, school supplies, food, and basic household necessities. The goal of Operation Devolver is to set the children of Barranca up for a successful school year by providing the supplies they will need.
Operation Devolver December Giving Event
For most families, the Christmas season is a time to celebrate. When you lack basic necessities, it makes it difficult to get into the Christmas spirit. Families in Barranca near Tuxpan in Jalisco, Mexico struggle to provide food, water, and even shelter. They receive very little in the way of government support. Through Operation Devolver, Project Boon aims to bring joy to the community at Christmas. Each year, the team travels to Barranca with toys, sporting goods, food, and basic household items. If you would like to help spread Christmas joy in Barranca through Operation Devolver, please contact Project Boon.
