Donate Experiences
A great way to help support HOPE families is through experiences that will keep them distracted during hard times. Movie tickets, bounce parks, mini golf, waterpark, kayak rentals… anything along these lines can change a day, week, or month for a family in need.
Donate Food & Beverages
Food and beverages in any form from groceries and perishables to restaurant, grocery store or food delivery service gift cards are incredibly helpful to keep families and individuals eating and healthy during rough times.
Donate Monetarily
Monetary donations of cash or gift cards go such a long way for HOPE families. We are able to provide them with a resource to take care of immediate needs or a way to turn a rough week into something more positive. We are a 501C3, and all donations are tax deductible!
HOPE Gives.
Every seed of positivity and kindness that a person plants can and will literally change the world. Our collective experience as one human race is based on one commonality; every cause has an effect and one act of kindness can have a ripple effect that is felt around the world. We want to be the cause that has a positive effect on as many families and individuals as possible. Giving real people the help they need, when they need it the most. No strings attached, just simple love and generosity. We strive to be a platform and vehicle where people can be touched by random acts of kindness, but also give others the opportunity to pay it forward. When the world feels dark and uncertain, take the opportunity to be the light and share.
Positive energy for all
When HOPE founder McKenzie Gallagher was battling a very aggressive breast cancer, fighting for her life, it was the random acts of kindness and generosity of her community that gave her the strength to fight and to eventually beat her disease.
Countless anonymous community members rallied for her family during the darkest chapter of her life. Dropping off meals, gift cards, money, and most importantly positive energy and prayers. She didn’t ask for this support, but family and friends intervened and got the Gallagher family the support they needed. The effect? Miracles. Connection. Strength. The power of one act of generosity is truly transformative.
It is through this experience that she felt inspired and called to create a platform where people could easily ask for help, or someone close to them could ask for support on their behalf. This can be done privately, and anonymously. The number one goal of HOPE is to truly give while a person or family is going through a hard time, in a non-invasive way.
Community Partnership
In addition to the different ways to get involved mentioned above, we are in the process of building out a program specifically for community sponsorships geared towards local business. If you are a business local to Traverse City, please contact us info@hope-gives.com to learn more!
