Program accomplishments
- In 2025, Boxes of Basics packed and distributed 3,035 boxes for children across Prince William County, Manassas, Manassas Park, Warren County, Faquier County and Fairfax County. We partnered with 168 referring organizations, including 107 schools, 29 non-profits, and 32 additional community organizations. This expanded outreach was made possible by an incredible network of 909 unique volunteers and more than 29 permanent donation drop-off locations hosted by local businesses throughout the region. Overall, 2025 marked a 40% increase in children served - reflecting both increased operational capacity and a growing demand for essential clothing support. 2025 Highlights and Key takeaways: - Boxes of Basics significantly increased the number of boxes distributed, packing nearly 40% more than in 2024. This growth underscores both rising need and our ability to scale operations to meet it. - In 2025, 20% of children served were experiencing homelessness, up from 12.4% in 2024 - a more than 60% increase. - While Prince William County remained our primary service area, we saw notable growth in Fauquier and Warren counties. - The children served reflect the diversity of our region: 49% Hispanic/Latino, 24% Blace, 12% White, 7% Asian,and 8% other. - Boxes of Basics diverted more than 18 tons of clothing from landfills in 2025 - reducing textile waste while meeting essential clothing needs for children. - More than 900 unique volunteers contributed over 4,300 hours of service. - Collaborated with 168 referring partners - including schools, non-profits, community agencies, and faith-based organizations - to identify needs early, coordinate support, and connect children and families to critical resources.Expenses $930,069
