We Help families in our Community

When life changes in an instant, families shouldn’t face it alone. With community support, Every Sip Counts provides an immediate financial gift delivered with compassion to families in our community.

our story

#everysipcounts

What if a charity didn’t rely on donations alone but was funded by serving the very community it exists to support? In 2018 a fully funded charity idea became the foundation of the Every Sip Counts mission. By serving drinks at community gatherings, corporate events, and family celebrations, a portion of every event helps fund our charity. Together, moments of connection create something much greater: direct financial support for families in our community facing unexpected tragedy.

Many of the families we help are the very people who spend their lives giving to others - raising children, supporting their neighbors, and building strong communities. Yet no one can plan for the moment when devastating medical news, a tragic accident, or sudden loss changes everything.

In an instant - just one blink - life can shift completely.

When a family’s world is shaken to its core, we step in to offer a little gift of financial support and hope during an incredibly uncertain time. While every familiy’s needs are different, the reality is the same: life-altering emergencies can happen to any of us.

After witnessing several families within our own circle face unexpected hardships, we felt called to do something meaningful. We created this charity to provide compassion, support, and a reminder that no family has to face their darkest moments alone.

How we help

Application for Support

We provide direct financial support to help ease the immediate burdens families face during a crisis.

Our compassionate board carefully reviews the applications that meet our minimum requirements to take immediate action. We approach every request with care, respect, and complete confidentiality.

How You can help

If you know a family experiencing a sudden emergency, we encourage you to submit an application on their behalf. We understand that families in crisis need help quickly and our team works to review each request as promptly as possible.
