RISKSOURCE CARES

Some of our team are making Paracord Bracelets through Operation Gratitude.  Not only do these bracelets look cool, they can actually be used to save a life in an emergency situation. We include them in our Care Packages to our Troops and First Responders.  All who serve use paracord, which gets its name from parachute cord and can hold up to 550 lbs. of weight. The bracelet provides 7.5 feet of cord in an emergency. Paracord “Survival” Bracelets can be used to:

• Secure camouflage nets to trees or vehicles
• Build a makeshift shelter
• Extend a security strap or rope to reach and haul heavy objects
• Create a harness to extract an injured person from a bad location
• Make a sling or splint

Account Manager, Colleen McPheron, made 180 masks that were donated to the following health care facilities:

• Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis (where Colleen’s daughter,  Molly is a doctor)
• The Woodlands in Hamilton, Ohio
• TriHealth
• And to friends & family :)

Way to go Colleen!

RiskSOURCE Cares made a contribution to MORTAR in August, 2020.  This is part of our commitment to support the diversity and talent that grows in our community.

MORTAR supports entrepreneurship in changing communities.  When neighborhoods are growing, a lot of planning goes into renovating historic buildings and creating magnificent green spaces. In the same way that these locations have the potential to become booming communities, MORTAR believes that the neighborhood’s residents have the potential to create booming enterprises – just footsteps from their homes.

MORTAR fulfills its purpose by building on these successes through focusing on those who are often ignored. By targeting underserved and redeveloping communities, we’re offering these non-traditional entrepreneurs the opportunity to use their inherent talents to not just make a dollar, but to positively participate in the rise of  Cincinnati.
