Mission Statement

The 250 Project is all about making a real difference, one donation at a time. Our mission is simple: gather at least 250 essential items per drive to support those in need. By building strong partnerships, rallying volunteers, and using data to guide our efforts, we’re creating a movement that brings communities together and makes generosity easy, sustainable, and impactful—no matter where you are.
