With the goal of fostering creativity, community and awareness for charitable causes, Hopestrands.com is set to launch May 20th. Providing an innovative approach to fundraising, the non-profit online apparel shop will partner with various charitable and mission organizations to promote their cause and garner funding through the sale of member-designed t-shirts.
In addition to bringing awareness to nationally known charitable organizations, Hopestrands aims to make an impact on the local level as well. The website also provides opportunity for churches, youth groups and other organizations to raise funding for their own missions trips by designing a t-shirt and posting it for sale on the Hopestrand site. All proceeds will go back to the organization to help fund their trip.
