RISE
Reaching Independence through Support and Education

The RISE program is all about empowering families to achieve self-sufficiency and stability. Our unique approach focuses on providing resources that are tailored to meet specific community needs, enabling us to implement programming that makes a real difference. Unlike traditional assistance programs, RISE offers a hand up, not a handout. This innovative program was developed in response to our five-year Northwest Project pilot program, which was generously funded by the Community Foundation of the Ozarks.
