Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

Hi there, we have another family who is requesting help with getting a dresser for their current foster placement. They have asked for either a tall 5 drawer or short 6 drawer dresser as the one that is currently in the room is broken and 2 of the drawers are inoperable. We do not have a preference if it is new or used as long as all of the drawers work! The foster parents also plan to keep this dresser in the room for any future foster placements. Thank you in advance!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
