HandUp careers

HandUp is a direct donation system for homeless people and others in need in your neighborhood. With HandUp, you can donate to a specific person via their web profile or SMS, learn about their story and needs, and hear updates on their progress. Fulfillment partners and retailers on the ground ensure members use donations on basics like food, clothing, and housing. Empowerment and financial literacy are baked in.
