GET INVOLVED
There are so many meaningful ways to support Rising Kites—donate, volunteer, host a fundraiser, or partner with us.
“I didn’t realize how desperate I was to not feel like we were on our own, until I found Rising Kites and the community they have fostered there. Since receiving a bag, I have gone on to volunteer and fundraise for Rising Kites – I feel honored to be able to join this passion and touch others’ lives like they initially did for me. So beyond grateful!”
-Taylor, Bag Recipient & Volunteer
