Ways to help | Moving Home DrivesYou can coordinate a drive to collect basic household items for a woman as she moves into her new apartment.

Host a drive with your company, school, religious organization friends and family, or club. The in-kind needs of On The Rise change alongside the changing seasons. If you're interested in hosting a drive, please contact us.Service Days VolunteerOn The Rise invites groups and individuals to volunteer on the first Saturday of the month. Your efforts help preserve a dignified space for the women to enjoy each day. We will work on various projects in and around our beautiful home that may include: general grounds clean-up, garden work, sorting and organizing clothing, arts and crafts, preparation for special events, sorting toiletries, research and computer work, handy work, small cooking projects, and other "to do's" that are needed as the seasons changes.Cook a LunchFor the women at On The Rise, a home-cooked and hearty meal enjoyed in a safe home is invaluable. We rely on the kind hearts and culinary talents of volunteers to cook a meal in their kitchen and deliver to ours. Don't shy away from this opportunity even if you don’t consider yourself a cook; store bought and pre-made items are also welcome. As the women are as diverse as their palates, you choose what you would like to make; it is sure to be appreciated and enjoyed. |
