Our journey began with a poignant realization: as we drove around Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we couldn't help but notice the individuals panhandling by the freeway off-ramps, their faces often etched with weariness and uncertainty as they sought assistance from those passing by. Witnessing their plight and feeling the desire to do more than simply hand out water and a few dollars served as the impetus for Hope Straps—a tangible way to offer hope and support to those who need it most.

Each Hope Strap is a symbol of resilience, unity, and the unwavering belief that better days lie ahead. But Hope Straps are more than just symbols, they are gateways that can link individuals to the support they need. Sewn to each Hope Strap is a QR code that points to HopeStraps.org. There one can find area shelter locations, meal sites, helplines and health services. Hope Straps aims to connect the most vulnerable members of our communities to resources that can improve their lives.

But Our mission doesn't end there. We are committed to extending our efforts to assist many others who need hope. We envision a future where hope knows no bounds, where hope and its realization extends far and wide.

Join us in our journey to spread hope, one strap at a time. Together, we can illuminate the path toward a brighter, more hopeful future.
