Hope Tank sells gifts that give back.
Hope Tank sells products made by people with a commitment to philanthropy. Every item supports our nonprofit partners. Hope Tank is a place where creative people with innovative ideas, come together to effect change in the world. Hope without action and knowledge is just wishful thinking. Hope is the fuel for real and lasting change. Our mission is to harness hope and help people move to action, and a Hope Tank purchase is the first step.
I love giving a really thoughtful, unique gift. Hope Tank founder Erica Ryder is a former social worker, so she's pretty familiar with the unique needs in Colorado. Now every purchase at her gift shop goes right back into the community. Everything will either have a sticker on it or will come with one. At checkout, you'll learn more about the organization on the sticker, helping you understand exactly where your dollars are going. We have this really unique opportunity to have a one-on-one exchange that you're never going to necessarily have with that organization. So it's not as simple as It's much more personalized than that. Sometimes Hope Tank gives a monetary donation, but others. They purchase something an organization truly needs or wants. It's not just about writing a check. It's really about connecting. And the products inside the shop are from local businesses, which means when you shop here, you're helping Colorado families and entrepreneurs put food on the table. People, I think, don't understand. This isn't a hobby for a lot of us. This is our livelihood. Ryder recommends you opt to shop small and show off what you purchase with a simple post online to spread the word. It's not just about the dollar amount. It's leveraging your sphere of influence. Not just for the holidays, but year round. For 9 News Mornings, I'm Victoria Valenzuela. Oh, I had that onesie for my little guy. You could shop in person or at hopetank. org. Hope Tank also has a little newsletter called Hope Slingers Guide to help feature small businesses in the community. You can find all of that on hopeslingersguide. com.
