Project Smile is a Massachusetts-based non-profit organization founded in 2003 that operates primarily in the individual and family services sector. The group runs two main programs: Smiles for Children, which provides comforting items such as stuffed animals, coloring books, and reading materials to children through partnerships with police, fire departments, shelters, and the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families; and Suits & Smiles, which offers interview and work attire to men in need to support employment access. The organization's work focuses on supporting emergency responders and vulnerable populations by delivering tangible items that address immediate emotional and practical needs during traumatic or challenging circumstances, including fostering care transitions and shelter stays. Project Smile serves audiences across a wide region through its charitable activities and has established collaborations with police and fire departments, shelters, and child welfare agencies to extend its reach. In addition to its core programs, the group has pursued initiatives such as a 2020 expansion into interviewing and work attire, and recent activities include public-facing campaigns like a Message of Hope for Gaza, illustrating a broader community engagement beyond direct material assistance.
