Together and separately, this mother-son duo transformed their lives with the help of StepUp and our community, and we are proud to share their inspiring story.

Congratulations to StepUp Ministry's May Employee of the Month, Kelly Hurter, our Chief Development Officer!

Here's why her co-workers chose Kelly:
- "She is thoughtful and considerate of work/life balance, always recognizing that people do their best work when they feel supported as whole people, not just employees."
- "She is never afraid to roll up her sleeves and do the hard, behind-the-scenes work alongside her team."
- "Kelly leads by example, with humility, dedication, and a deep commitment to both the mission and the people around her."
- "Kelly and the team work so hard to raise funds for us, and they are doing an amazing job! They did a particularly stellar job on the Rooted and Rising event."

Thank you for all you do for StepUp, Kelly! We appreciate you!

There’s a reason StepUp Ministry’s new campaign is called Rooted & Rising.

It’s about fathers rebuilding after incarceration.
It’s about mothers rediscovering confidence.
It’s about children watching their families keep going.
It’s about creating pathways from instability to opportunity.
In a new blog, CEO Colisha Stanford shares why StepUp’s next chapter is deeply rooted in dignity, relationships, and the belief that people deserve more than survival.

This is a powerful read about community, second chances, and what becomes possible when people are truly supported.

Memorial Day is a time of remembrance, but it is also a call to live with purpose—uplifting one another and strengthening our communities. Every act of support, every opportunity created, and every life impacted helps build a stronger, more resilient community.

Today, StepUp renews its commitment to empowering our neighbors and walking alongside individuals on their path to stability and success.

StepUp’s Rooted & Rising Capital Campaign is gaining media attention, and we’re proud to share powerful stories of transformation from participants like James. This month, he joined ABC11 WTVD to share his StepUp journey—here’s a snapshot from his interview.

If you haven't heard, StepUp Ministry recently launched a capital campaign to build a 9,500-sq-ft home to serve the greater Wake County community. This is not just a building. It’s a launchpad for change.
