🇺🇸Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸

As we honor the Stars and Stripes, we also celebrate the spirit of service, resilience, and unity that strengthens our communities every day.

From all of us at Rise Life Services, we wish you a meaningful Flag Day.

On May 31st, RISE Life Service’s Enrichment Experience proudly participated in the 30th Annual MOSAIC Community Street Painting Festival! 🎨💙

We brought our outreach van and hosted an interactive table where community members painted rocks with positive affirmations and created wellness packets filled with worry stones, emotional support ducks, and helpful mental health resources.

Events like the MOSAIC Community Street Painting Festival allow us to further our mission by connecting with the community, sharing resources, and fostering meaningful conversations about mental wellness.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit us, and a special thank you to for organizing such a wonderful event. We’re grateful to be part of a community that continues to support connection, creativity, and hope. 💙✨
