A SIMPLE IDEA. A HUMAN CONNECTION.

Good things happen
when we pass them on.

Pass the Cup is a year-round invitation to turn whatever you have into something that helps. No perfect words. No big gesture. Just you.

01

Fill a cup.

Give a meal, a device, your time, or a few words of encouragement. Every kind of giving belongs here.

02

Share your why.

Pick up your favorite cup. Record a message or write a few words about why you care.

03

Pass it to everyone.

End with “I’m passing the cup to you.” The you is everybody. Let the next act of kindness begin.

THERE IS NO SMALL GIFT

What will you
put in your cup?

Choose what feels right.
Money is only one way to make a difference.

Giving your voice is free.
THE FIRST CHAPTER

A hundred cups.
Countless possibilities.

Our launch goal: 100 people, each holding a cup and sharing a message on November 9, 2026. After that, the cupboard stays open all year.

100 is our launch goal, not a verified sign-up count.
BETTER, TOGETHER

Community at the heart.
GroundLift underneath.

GroundLift brings the technology. Community organizations, businesses, churches, and neighbors bring the care.
