Join Our Circle of Hope
Become a Monthly Partner in Transformation
At Rising Hope, we meet urgent needs every day by offering meals, a safe place from the weather, emergency assistance, and a listening ear. But behind the scenes, one of our greatest challenges is being able to plan for tomorrow while meeting the demand of today. That is where our Circle of Hope comes in.
Monthly donors give us something priceless: stability.
When we can count on steady and consistent support, we can take bold steps. We can expand services, respond to emergencies, and say yes when a neighbor needs us most, without wondering if the resources will be there.
Whether it is $5 or $50, your recurring gift strengthens the foundation of all we do. Consistent support helps keep our market stocked with fresh food, ensures our kitchen is ready to serve hot meals, and allows our doors to stay open as a safe place for our neighbors. Every monthly gift, no matter the size, makes a real difference in how we serve.
It is simple, automatic, and deeply impactful. It is one of the easiest ways to make sure our neighbors can count on Rising Hope today and in the future.

“Transferring a security directly from my investment account to the Virginia United Methodist Foundation (rather than selling it) has enabled me to maximize my donation to Rising Hope, pay no capital gains on the security’s appreciation, and claim the current fair market value as a charitable deduction on my income tax. The process is
simple and easy and is a terrific way to support Rising Hope’s much-needed mission.”
