At the core of Project Black & Blue, there is an open acknowledgement of the bruises accumulated every day by workers in the service industry family.  This industry, the largest job-producer outside of state and federal governments, is known to be near the top in terms of creating mental and physical stress for its workers. 

Long hours of physical labor in high pressure workplaces, often held as a badge of pride within the industry, can take heavy acute and chronic tolls on workers trying to provide for themselves and their families.  Also, the inseparable challenges of potential job insecurity, frequently lower wages and higher levels of addiction are always present. 

It’s not enough to simply acknowledge the bruises, there is the need to create opportunities to offer real support. With gratitude in our hearts, we respectfully created Project Black & Blue.

Donations have direct and positive impacts for industry workers who are dealing with mental, physical, and/or financial stress.

The goal Project Black & Blue is to provide tangible assistance to the members of the service industry family so that they can maintain dignity and continue to work with a higher quality of life.  

The money itself accumulates in our Project B&B Fund, allocated out each month to nominees from our nomination process. Anyone, anywhere within the service industry, can be nominated. We need you to share their stories and nominate!
