Project New Hope

Vision Statement
To restore hope for all Veterans and their families where hope may have been lost.

Mission Statement
Project New Hope is a New England-based, Military-affiliated, resource hub that finds and delivers the wellness resources needed by Veterans, Service Members, their families, and full units that have deployed together. Our network of support allows us the ability to identify and align the appropriate support by wrapping services and resources around the entire family.

Project New Hope was founded in 2010 and established in January 2011 by a disabled Air Force Veteran, William H. (Bill) Moore M.A. Our vision is one of hope for every Service Member, Veteran, as well as their spouse and or significant other who has felt the impact of military service. Our network of support allows us the ability to identify and align the appropriate support by wrapping services and resources around the entire family. We welcome Service Members and Veterans of all eras from across the United States.

We partner with organizations that provide support to families of Massachusetts Service Members fallen in service.

Project New Hope Inc. Non-Profit Veterans Organization has an office in Worcester and Westfield, Mass. Both of our locations have a Food pantry that are an essential community service to our Active-duty, National Guard, Reservists, and honorably discharged Veterans and their family.

Please contact either office to schedule a time slot to visit Food Pantry. Only one client will be allowed in the food pantry at one time to reduce any threat of spreading coronavirus. If you are experiencing a fever, sore throat or other ailment do not enter the building.
