UPCOMING EVENTS
Operation Christmas Child Collection - January
Every year at RISE, we partner with the ministry Operation Christmas Child to collect items for shoeboxes that are sent around the world to children in need. To optimize our impact, we collect items throughout the year! There will be a different suggested donation item each month, but any donations will be gratefully accepted.
January’s suggested donation are WOW gifts. After Christmas sales are a great time to shop! Please remember, your donation needs to fit in a shoebox with other items!
Look for our new Operation Christmas Child collection bin by the front door.
Soles for Jesus
Soles for Jesus collects new and gently used shoes to send to Africa. Many schools require children to wear shoes in order to attend, and there’s a great need among adults as well.
We are continuing to collect shoes throughout the year. Please drop them in the Soles for Jesus box near the front doors OR bring them to the volunteer event.
We’re so excited to tell you about another opportunity to serve at the Soles for Jesus warehouse on Saturday, January 10th from 9 to 11 AM. Please be on time and sign up by Sunday, January 4th to let the Soles for Jesus staff leaders know how many volunteers they will be having. You can sign up below!
The warehouse is located on 91st and Brown Deer Road in Milwaukee (8835 W Heather Ave, Milwaukee).
