The average petty cash amount is $100-$150 per week for the client and is used for such things as toiletries, outings with sponsors, extra weekend expenditures beyond Rising Roads, etc.  This is the beginning for our clients to learn budgeting and using their financial resources wisely.  Clients turn in receipts each week to account for their spending.  Please note, the weekly grocery card is covered by Rising Roads and not by petty cash.  The best way to provide petty cash is to either send a monthly check to Rising Roads or pay by credit card on our website.   Rising Roads will secure the petty cash and only give to clients in small increments.
