Each September 11th, the Project 351 community joins millions of volunteers across the country for a National Day of Service and Remembrance. We unite to honor and remember the loved ones lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001; and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms since 2001. Through service, we pay tribute to the spirit of unity, compassion, and generosity that healed our nation in the months following that tragic day.

Our mission is simple: To demonstrate the power of hope and the spirit of community. And, to honor great loss with kindness, generosity, and service that uplifts those in greatest need of our comfort and support.

This year, to honor and remember those lost to the tragic attacks on 9/11, Hopkinton Project 351 members Anna Noroian, Aryan Shah, Sophia Zanella, and Ryan Moore created a tribute rock garden with names of victims and fallen service heroes. We invite you to pause by the garden, read the names (near the front of the school), and encourage you to have a moment of reflection.

Any art supplies in good condition - pencils, crayons, markers, etc.

Drop off at any of the Hopkinton Public Schools

The art supplies will be sorted into kits that will be distributed to children served by Project Just Because, a local non-profit that provides basic necessities to families in need.
