We bloomed together! ๐ŸŒธ Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, Twin Cities R!SE raised more than $460,000 at last monthโ€™s R!SE to the Occasion 2026 Gala.

Plus, an anonymous donor matched $100,000 in new and increased gifts. These resources will provide jobseekers with training, coaching, and job placement that will foster growth throughout the Twin Cities.

Twin Cities R!SE was proud to attend and serve as a table sponsor at the Tools for Tomorrow Breakfast hosted by our incredible community partner, Small Sums.

One of the most powerful moments of the morning was hearing directly from a former Small Sums participant who shared his firsthand experience.

After reentering society following incarceration, he explained that the support he received from Small Sums went far beyond tools and work supplies. It gave him confidence and helped him feel seen, respected, and prepared for a new chapter at a time when he needed it most.

Today, heโ€™s in a position to give back by helping connect others to the same support that helped him begin his journey.

At TCR, we know lasting career success is about more than employment. It also takes confidence, opportunity, and a strong network of support.

Weโ€™re grateful to share community spaces and partnerships with organizations like Small Sums that are making a lasting impact every day.

For the past 10 years, Stephanie has been a valued part of the TCR team, bringing heart, empathy, and encouragement to her role as our Education & Training Program Assistant. Weโ€™re grateful for all she has poured into this work over the years.

โ€œOver the past 10 years at Twin Cities R!SE, Iโ€™ve learned many valuable lessons, so itโ€™s hard to choose just one. The most consistent lesson has been recognizing my own core valueโ€”that I am lovable, important, valuable, and empoweredโ€”and seeing that same value in the people we serve. Keeping that in mind helps me approach others with empathy and understanding. It also allows me to help them recognize their own worth, which can empower them to make different choices and walk in their purpose, whatever that may be.โ€

โ€œAt TCR, we meet many people who are working to change the course of their lives. Knowing that I can help plant even one seed toward that change gives my role meaning and purpose. Being able to do this heart work alongside so many passionate people is what makes coming to work each day so rewarding, and it inspires me to see where we will go next.โ€
