Follow on Google News | Project Boon Recaps Wins Amidst Challenges of 2020By: Project Boon "Despite the 2020 pandemic, we remained committed to our purpose of giving back," stated Chris Suchánek, Executive Director. "We worked together, pivoted, and ended up serving more people with fewer volunteers than in past years." Indeed, the organization's 2020 results speak for themselves. Project Boon organized five total events, and the organization took advantage of its partnership with The Hitch Burger Grill to enable deployment. "Since Hitch Burger was deemed essential because of its drive-thru, we realized that all of the year's big plans didn't need to be scrapped…just re-imagined," The organization served 20K meals in 2020. Furthermore, the group distributed thousands of cases of water, pairs of socks, backpacks filled with school supplies, Christmas toys, health resource packets, and even red roses to appreciative moms on Mother's Day. The organization aims to serve at least 30K meals in 2021 while bringing additional valuable resources to underserved and in-need communities, including health resources that could be hard to access as the pandemic rages on. Organizations, businesses, and individuals who are interested in learning more about how they can assist in Project Boon's mission are encouraged to visit www.projectboon.org for more information. Upcoming Events Project Boon is pleased to announce an Easter event that will feature drive-thru service to families who are food insecure on March 28, 2021 at 4:00pm. Held at Hitch Burger in Rancho Cucamonga, the event will provide groceries for Easter dinner preparation as well as festive Easter baskets for children.
