We’ve Been Here for Our Community, Now We Need You More Than Ever!!
The Brotherhood RISE Center has been a place of refuge for so many people: A place to find a warm meal, support, and someone who cares.
Through our nourishment program, we have prepared over 26,000 meals and helped house 100s of individuals. Behind every meal and every housing placement is a person whose life matters. A neighbor who deserves dignity, stability, and the opportunity to move forward.
Today, the future of that care is at risk.
The Brotherhood RISE Center has lost the funding that supports our staff. Without replacement funding, we will have to let our staff go by December 31, 2026.
Our staff make this work possible. They prepare meals, connect people with resources, support housing needs, and build relationships with neighbors who need consistent care. Losing them would mean losing the people our community relies on—and the services so many turn to when they have nowhere else to go.
For someone who depends on us, a closed door could mean going without a meal, losing a trusted source of support, or facing their next challenge alone.
There are two ways you can help:
1. Attend our charity auction on October 17, 2026, hosted by Keller Williams. Come stand with RISE and support the future we are building for our community. If you cannot attend, that’s okay! Please consider making a donation!

2. Share this with every single person you can. Send it to your family, friends, coworkers, churches, and community groups. Post it on social media. Tell people why RISE matters and ask them to help. Your voice could connect us with someone who can make a difference.
Whether you have received support, volunteered, partnered with us, or simply believe every person deserves a place to turn, we need you beside us now.
December 31 is approaching. Please act today to help us keep our staff, keep our doors open, and keep showing up for the people who count on us.
