Today is Giving Tuesday, a national day of generosity and care.

At Arise Collective, we see every day how hard reentry is for women. Many return home without housing, medical care, transportation, or anyone to walk beside them as they navigate the most difficult transition of their lives. Your support changes that. And, today, your gift goes twice as far thanks to a $2,000 match from a generous donor. Here is what your giving has made possible this year: --37 women received safe, supportive transitional housing through our Women’s Reentry Project, along with wraparound case management, counseling, and stabilization support during the most critical months after release. --The Arise Center for Healing and Transformation opened its doors, providing women with counseling, peer support, job-readiness training, parenting classes, and a community space where they could rebuild a sense of belonging and trust. --More than 500 women received spiritual care, counseling, and crisis support through our prison chaplaincy programs. --60 children maintained connections with their mothers thanks to the merger of MATCH into Arise Collective. Women coming home are rebuilding with almost nothing. Many would be homeless without programs like the Women's Reentry Project. Others would have no path to medical care, employment, ID, or benefits that stabilize their first months home. Your giving provides a hand up and creates a real chance for stability. Our goal is to raise 40,000 dollars by December 31st to continue and expand this work across North Carolina. Will you make your Giving Tuesday gift today and stand with women who are working hard to build safe, stable, and healthy lives? https://arise-collective.org/woven-together P.S. Your gift is tax-deductible, and today it is matched. Help us ensure that women who would otherwise return home with nowhere to go have a place to land, a community to support them, and a real second chance. #GivingTuesday
