Rising Ground is here to provide the support people need to build upon their strengths and address adversity in times of need. From helping parents improve their parenting skills to making sure they have enough to eat, from résumé writing to reuniting families, we are here to provide support to those who need it most. Because when you strengthen a family, you help create more vibrant communities.

Then it got worse when both parents went to jail. That’s when Gabby and her brother Dominic were placed in the Rising Ground Family Foster Care Program with Hyacinth, a dedicated Foster Parent. In Hyacinth’s supportive home, Gabby has done well in school and become a much more open and expressive person. Still, she and Dominic look forward to reuniting with their father. The program will help him find housing and a job when he leaves prison. Meantime, to help them stay connected, Hyacinth makes sure they have the opportunity to talk on the phone with both of their parents several times a week.
