On Saturday, June 13, Rising Well welcomed community members, supporters, residents, staff, and friends for our Summer Gospel Brunch, a special gathering celebrating faith, fellowship, and community connection.
Guests enjoyed a delicious brunch, uplifting gospel music, and the opportunity to learn more about Rising Well’s mission to empower individuals and families through behavioral health, substance use, housing, and supportive services.
Events like our Gospel Brunch help raise awareness about the importance of accessible behavioral health care while creating opportunities for community members to come together in support of our work.
We are grateful to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, performed, and helped make the event a success. Your support helps ensure that individuals and families throughout our community have access to the services and resources they need to rise, heal, and live well.
