OUR MISSION

To engage the Baldwin County community in meeting the tangible needs of students to reduce barriers to learning, enhance academic achievement and support social-emotional development.

Palm Project is an initiative through the Baldwin County Education Coalition to provide any necessary items needed for Baldwin County students. We are composed of committee members, volunteers, and donors who recognize the greatest gift a child can receive is an education.
