About Us

A foundation built on food, learning, and kindness

The Pearl Project Foundation, Inc. is a community nonprofit initiative dedicated to feeding families, empowering students, and strengthening communities through food assistance, education, and acts of kindness.

What began as a personal commitment to serve neighbors in need has grown into a foundation that organizes food drives, tutors students, and connects volunteers with the families who need them most — always rooted in dignity, consistency, and care.

Founded by Chelsea Bagheri, to serve communities through food assistance, education, and meaningful acts of kindness.

Our Mission

The Pearl Project Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to empowering children, young adults, and families through compassion, education, and community service. We provide food assistance, educational opportunities, and outreach programs that inspire hope, promote equity, and create lasting positive change.

Our Programs

Two programs, one purpose

Every program we run traces back to the same goal — meeting people where they are, and giving them what they need to move forward.

Food Assistance

Pearl Pantry

We organize food drives, collect donations, and provide direct food assistance to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity — building a steady, reliable source of support in every community we serve.
