Charities and Causes We Support
Charities We Support
At Presto Tape, we believe in giving back. It’s part of our core and mission. Presto is committed to supporting not only our employees through various programs and initiatives but also our local community and others throughout the world. While all of our employees are an integral part of helping to fuel our causes, we also have a dedicated Care Team that helps bring these partnerships and programs to life.
OUR ONGOING PARTNERS
Hope International
We partner with Hope International to support their sustainable model, which provides loans through microfinancing. These loans can provide resources, like a sewing machine, to sustain a living and support a family. The loan can then be repaid and reloaned to another person, which allows the program to invest in more families’ dreams.
charity: water
We worked with charity: water to sponsor a clean water project for the people of Rwanda. Access to clean water can reduce waterborne diseases, increase food availability, and allow kids to spend more time at school. The project provides clean water to over 850 people.
ADDITIONAL CAUSES WE SUPPORT
The Greater Charitable Giveaway
Presto Tape’s charitable organization, Hope for Others, donated over $69,000 to 12 local organizations. The causes were selected based on employee feedback and needs in the community, including combating homelessness, at-risk children, animal shelters, cancer treatment and research, domestic abuse, children with disabilities, recovery centers, mental illness intervention, and more.
The Great Giveaway
Since 2022, we’ve been empowering every employee with $200 during the holiday season to pay it forward to those in need. The Great Giveaway has made a positive impact on over 200 people in our local community, including strangers in need we met at the grocery store checkout line, close friends or acquaintances going through a difficult time, and charities that have made a personal impact on our lives.
ChoiceOne Golf Outing
Presto Tape participated in the Golf with Purpose Event, supporting ChoiceOne, an organization that offers vital resources to over 300,000 struggling single moms, young women, and teens.
CURE International
Hope for Others, the charitable organization of Presto Tape, has donated $50,000 to CURE International to help fund surgeries for children with treatable conditions.
Surgeons treat conditions such as cleft lip and palate, clubfoot, bowed legs, burn contractures, spina bifida, brain tumors, and hydrocephalus, at its eight hospitals across Africa and the Philippines. Hope for Others supports CURE’s mission to give children access to the surgical care they need, regardless of where they live or what their families can afford.
Bensalem Police K-9 Donation
Presto Tape, donated $15,000 to the Bensalem Police Department to help fund K-9 Bolo. Bolo works alongside his partner, Officer Ryan Bones, assisting with narcotics detection and patrol.
Bensalem has been Presto Tape’s home for decades, and supporting the people who keep our community safe is something we take to heart.
Meals of Hope
The Presto Tape Care Team organized a Meals of Hope packing event where over 80 volunteers, including employees, friends, and family, came together to assemble 36,504 meal kits for those in need.
Bensalem Police K-9 Gift Donations
Presto Tape gifted custom Yeti dog bowls to the Bensalem Police Department’s K-9 unit. Each bowl was inscribed with the name of a dog as a token of appreciation for their dedication to fighting crime and for their participation in a community event hosted by Presto Tape.
Additional programs, sponsorship support, and initiatives are held throughout the year, including ongoing food drives for the local food bank, nurse appreciation gift baskets, ongoing support for the Bensalem Police Department, Golf sponsorships, toiletry essentials for the homeless, and more.
Presto Tape has also launched internal programs for our employees, including Smart Money Financial Courses, Marriage Weekends, Healthy Habits, the Presto Tape Car, and more.
