The Box Project is a national, non-profit organization that has been matching volunteer sponsors from across the United States with recipient families living in rural poverty in America since 1962. We currently serve carefully selected areas of rural poverty including: the Mississippi Delta and rural communities in Maine, Appalachia (including West Virginia  and Kentucky), the Native American reservations of South Dakota and Florida.

Michael Madsen: Poet, author, movie star, husband, father, and enthusiastic advocate for The Box Project.

"As a father of 6 boys, I was happy to be asked to be a spokesperson for The Box Project," said Michael Madsen. "I know what it takes to feed a big family and I hope that my involvement can help people living in poverty in rural America."

Our Mission: To encourage and enrich the lives of families and individuals living in poverty in rural America by establishing meaningful relationships, promoting education, and offering material aid.
