DONATE

​

​

At Rising Up Ministries we strive to be good stewards by using all monetary donations, food, supplies, and clothing to help the less fortunate, children going into foster care, to give thanks to first responders, and truck drivers, and for our newfound project, Operation Tivkah. This operation will be built from the ground up which means we will need to purchase land, build various structures, and other projects and services that will entail a financial overhang. With your help, we will be able to get the ball rolling so any contribution, big or small is greatly appreciated.

   SYMPATHY BAGS FOSTER CHILDREN

​

 

The state of foster care is constantly changing and evolving. No two years- or even months- are exactly the same. There is approximately 424,000 foster youth nationwide according to ifoster.org. When these children go into the foster care system they are given a trash bag to carry their belongings in when they are removed from their homes; as if being ripped from their homes wasn't traumatic enough.

​

It is our desire to fill backpacks with personal care items and something of comfort which will vary according to the age and needs of the children.

CARE PACKAGES FOR TRUCK DRIVERS

 

When the Coronavirus situation arose in 2020 and businesses were ordered to close due to the lockdown, there were essential workers that couldn't stay home with their loved ones and had to continue working. These underappreciated heroes include truck drivers who risked their lives and worked long hours to keep the economy going. 

​

The trucking industry is a significant part of the American economy and most of the industries here in the U.S. rely on truck drivers to deliver supplies that we see in supermarkets and home goods stores. 

 

To show our appreciation and love for them we are wanting to give them care packages of essential items to make their travels on the road a little bit more comfortable and to remind them how much they are appreciated. 

​

To know what to donate for their care packages please take a look at our Amazon wishlist here or choose one of the options to the left under Make A Donation to donate monetarily. 

            HERO CARE PACKAGES

​

Hero Care Packages is a veteran-run, military-focused organisation that understands what Heroes want and offers to send pre-made care packages, curated care packages and build your own packages to active-duty soldiers who are overseas. 

​

To send a care package(s) please visit the

Hero Care Packages website to learn more about who they are and the care package options that they offer.

CARE PACKAGES FOR THE HOMELESS

​

The statistics of people who experienced homelessness in the US for 2020 on any given night estimated to be about 552,830 (according to policyadvice.net). 

​

We, at Rising Up Ministries, hope to be the change in helping to get some of these individuals off of the street who would like our help when we get Operation Tivkah up and running but until then, we will bless them with hot meals and care kits to show them that there are people who love and care for them. Please see the list below and donate any of the items listed in addition to anything else that you feel may give them joy and comfort.
