Can you help? New men's sneakers in sizes 12-13 are one of our greatest needs. If you're able, we'd be grateful for your donation of a new pair to help provide comfort and dignity for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

Hey did you know there was a super easy way to support the work of four amazing ministries, including us?

Check out the display table of our friends at The Virginia United Methodist Foundation this conference session.

All you have to do is sign up for their email list or schedule a visit to your local community; both of which are super helpful and informative.

Once you’ve completed it, let them know you’d like them to make the gift to Rising Hope or one of the other well deserving ministries. What an easy and impactful way to be in mission together!
