• The Hand Up Project

    "Bridging the Gap, One Hand Up at a Time"

  • Empowering Local Businesses to Make a Difference for Those Caught in Life's Challenges.

     

    In a world where success and abundance often flourish in the supply chain, a segment of our community is quietly struggling to stay afloat. These are the "gappers"—individuals working hard to move forward but caught in the cracks of unforeseen challenges: a job loss, an unexpected medical bill, or an essential car repair. Despite their efforts, they face tough decisions that often leave them falling further behind.

     

    The Hand Up Project aims to rewrite this narrative by tapping into the abundant profits of the print and promo product industry. By sourcing branded merchandise, marketing materials, and print needs through our program, local businesses can redirect a portion of those profits to provide immediate relief and sustainable support to gappers. Together, we can turn marketing dollars into a powerful force for positive change—bridging the gap and giving a much-needed hand-up to those fighting the good fight.
