On Feb. 10 RISE: Healthy for Life moved to its new location, 2700 S Roan St #300B in Johnson City, TN. We are thrilled with our new space. Our staff have an office and we have two classrooms for community programming and events!

We are coming from a co-officing facility, so our possessions are few, but our dreams are many! Right off the bat we need a:

• Refrigerator (any size from tall dorm fridge to full-sized fridge with freezer as long as it is clean and works).

• Toaster oven.

If you would like to donate either of these appliances or know anything about finishing floors, please reach out to cindi@riseHFL.org or call RISE at 423-250-3046.

This week we are beginning to remove wallpaper, patch and paint walls and ceilings, and sanding and resealing floors (parts of the floor are down to bare wood). This place has fantastic bones—just needs a little TLC to shine!

We would be thrilled with Home Depot gift cards and donations to cover items like renting a sander, floor finish, and paint and supplies.

We have an Amazon wish list for some of the essentials we never had to provide before, such as toilet paper and paper towel holders, soap dispensers, hot water kettle, wall pockets, etc.

Thanks in advance for helping us “warm” our work “house”—stay tuned for news about our official open house!!!

Here you can see classrooms 1 and 2 as well as the welcoming outdoor space folx can enjoy during class breaks.
