Project HOPE Boston

For David Carter, supporting Project HOPE is more than a charitable decision. It is deeply personal.

After losing his father at a young age, David and his mother faced financial hardship and experienced homelessness. During that difficult time, a nonprofit organization helped provide food, housing, educational support, and other resources that changed the course of their lives.

"That nonprofit was a life raft for my family," Carter recalled.

That experience stayed with him and shaped his commitment to giving back.

This year, David supported Project HOPE as a member of our Boston Marathon team. His story is a powerful reminder of how life-changing support can be when it arrives at the right moment.

Thank you, David, for using your marathon journey to help raise awareness for Project HOPE and the families we serve.

Congratulations to CPLAN on celebrating 10 years of community impact.

Project HOPE was honored to join community leaders, partners, and advocates in recognizing a decade of work dedicated to strengthening neighborhoods and expanding opportunities throughout our communities.

We were especially proud to celebrate alongside Boston City Councilor Julia Mejia, Project HOPE Board Member Keyla Jackson, and community partners from across Boston.

The work of building stronger communities takes collaboration, trust, and long-term commitment. We are grateful for organizations like CPLAN that continue to invest in residents, neighborhoods, and community leadership.

Congratulations on this important milestone and thank you for your continued partnership.

Project HOPE was proud to join community leaders, partners, and supporters at The Good Party hosted by Goodwill.

Events like these remind us that creating stronger communities requires collaboration. Whether it's workforce development, education, housing, or access to opportunity, lasting impact happens when organizations work together to support people on their path forward.

Thank you to Joanne Hilferty, Marie St. Fleur, Jazz Urbane Cafe, and the entire Goodwill team for bringing together so many individuals and organizations committed to making a difference across Greater Boston.

We are grateful to be part of a community that believes in investing in people and creating opportunities for all.

Last, but certainly not least, we’re celebrating Brett Gordon, our team captain, who will be running the Boston Marathon for Project HOPE for the fifteenth time on Monday! 

Good luck to all of the runners on Team HOPE — we can’t wait to cheer you on in a few days!
