At Rising Up, our mission is to create innovative
lasting solutions to fight homelessness,
hunger and poverty in Morgan County.

Rising Up is developing temporary and permanent
solutions and programs that will help individuals and families
rise up from homelessness and poverty and keep hunger at bay.

Our Street Outreach Team meets people where they are—literally. We connect with individuals living unsheltered to provide safety, basic needs, and support with housing, healthcare, vital documents, and employment resources. Because everyone deserves to be seen, supported, and given a chance to rise up.

Rising Up’s Work Program provides opportunities for personal growth, job training, and community connection — helping individuals rise toward self-sufficiency.

Empowering Through Literacy helps people learn English and gain confidence to thrive in our community.

Our Client Choice Food Pantry allows individuals and families to choose the foods that best fit their needs, giving them dignity and control during difficult times.

The Warming Shelter provides comfort, safety, and warmth for those with nowhere else to go on cold nights.
