Our Mission

Hernando County has a significant number of children facing homelessness. These young individuals often lack access to basic necessities, let alone the little things that bring happiness. The Matthew Project was created to help bring some happiness during the Christmas Season to the children who need it most.

What We Do

In conjunction with our local schools, businesses, churches, and civic organizations, we provide local homeless children with:

Special Christmas Gifts: Toys, books, and holiday presents to bring joy and comfort during special occasions.

Our aim is to ensure these children experience moments of joy and kindness, reminding them that they are not alone.

How You Can Help

The Matthew Project thrives because of the kindness and generosity of the community. Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Sponsor a Child: We accept donations of new Christmas items from the child’s provided wishlist.
  • Make a Monetary Donation: Your financial support helps us purchase needed items and maintain our outreach efforts.
  • Volunteer: Join our team to help distribute supplies, organize events, or wrap gifts.

Bringing Hope to Our Youth

Homelessness can be a challenging and isolating experience, especially for children. At The Matthew Project, we work to brighten their days and give them hope for a better tomorrow. Every act of kindness matters, and together, we can make a difference in the lives of Hernando County’s youngest and most vulnerable residents.
