We know plumbing. We understand how vital running water and functional sanitation systems are. We also recognize the stress our clients face when a broken line leaves them without hot water—or any water at all—for one or more days.

But there are some experiences we can’t fully relate to. We haven’t lived in a home without running water. We’ve never had to walk miles on foot to collect drinking water or struggled to wash up during a pandemic because the taps are dry.

Here’s something else we didn’t realize: Today, around 2.2 million people in the United States live without access to running water or basic plumbing. That’s right—in the 21st century, millions of Americans lack a flushing toilet or a functioning water tap.

If this information surprises, saddens, or frustrates you, we understand. We feel the same way. Fortunately, DigDeep, an organization focused on addressing this issue, is stepping up to make a difference. They run programs in places like the Navajo Nation and Appalachia, bringing clean, running water to hundreds of homes. They also advocate and conduct research in California’s Central Valley, where some communities have been excluded from the state's water systems.

DigDeep operates on a 100% donation model, ensuring that all contributions directly support water access programs. Their operational costs are covered by a separate part of the organization—the Water Council—which is where Bullseye comes in. In 2020, we joined the Water Council, committing to a three-year financial pledge to support their impactful work.

While the pandemic has delayed visits to DigDeep’s field operations, we’re eager to eventually roll up our sleeves and work alongside community members. Our team is excited to contribute to this important cause, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated!
