RISE- Risingville Intercommunity Service Effort

RISE- Risingville Intercommunity Service Effort For over forty years, the volunteers and staff of the R.I.S.E. We look to you to help us continue our mission into our 43rd summer. We need your help!

have helped meet the urgent home repair needs of residents of western New York in Steuben and Allegany Counties . RISE (Risingville Intercommunity Service Effort) has worked over the course of forty years to make the families of Steuben and Allegany Counties, in New York, warmer, safer, and drier. In 1980, Reverend Dale Forsman and a handful of eager Chatham, New Jersey, teenagers worked to impr

ove a single home, helping to sustain one family in need. From that humble beginning, RISE has blossomed to include teams from across the East on providing help to families in New York. Over the past summers, RISE reached out to many families giving assistance over the broad gamut of services we provide. Roofs were replaced and repaired, wheelchair ramps were built, porches repaired, houses were painted, and skirting was installed around the base of trailers to provide better insulation against the brutal Appalachian winter. Equally important, teams made new friends, learned new skills, and grew in their faith and love of mission. Even as we stop to reflect on our past 40 summers, we have begun preparations for next summer’s labor of love. This year, in addition to our normal fundraising to support our summer program we have other capital fund needs for which we prayerfully can use your assistance.

1. Raising funds to add end covers to our new storage building.
2. If you or a friend or family member have a van or a pick-up truck
that you would like to donate we would gladly consider it. Beyond our normal fundraising effort WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP if you would like to volunteer!

Friday nights on RISE are for the Love Feast. This is a time when groups can reflect on the project they completed, the skills they learned, and the relationships they built throughout the week.
This year, at the Hornell Center, teams worked together for evening program to purchase a shelf stable meal for a family of 4 for under $10, which we were able to donate to the Hornell First Baptis Food Pantry.
The cross at the Love Feast is surrounded by our food donations and offerings from our sites.
If you participated in a meaningful Love Feast, consider a donation to RISE.
