The City of Tyler, Texas, Tyler Junior College, and Hand Up Network join together to take care of First Responders serving on the front line of COVID19. It represents what we believe is the first, First Responder/Medical Caregiver Respite Facility of its kind in Texas and the United States. It’s not every day that you find a government organization, partnering with an institute of higher learning, and working side by side with a non-profit to help serve those that are putting their lives on the line to protect us all. It’s a special relationship that we believe could only be possible in a community like East Texas. Check out the video that the City of Tyler produced to help tell the story.
HAND UP NETWORK™ is a 501c3 non-profit based in Tyler, TX that has assembled an international team of leaders with decades of experience with a desire to come back home and bring focus to those in need in local communities. The Network offers long-term programs to people seeking a new season in life and response teams designed to address community issues and emergency response. The Network provides intentional volunteer opportunities for people wanting to provide support within their programs and opportunities to engage via Response Teams. The Hand Up Network was awarded the Guidestar Platinum Seal of Transparency for 2020! This is the highest level of achievement possible.
