Thanks to the generosity of countless individuals, families and community groups, Rise Above sent out Care Packages to 310 young adults in foster care who are defying the odds by enrolling in college or a vocational program! In early April we filled 310 boxes to the brim with study snacks, hygiene and school supplies, gift cards and encouraging notes and cards and shipped them directly to young adults.

How can I help?
Our next batch of Care Packages will go out in early November 2024. Let us know if your workplace, community group or family would like to host a donation drive for us!
