Come spend a day gathering important resources, getting inspired, finding support, and leaving feeling equipped for your journey. |
The RISE Conference
formerly Spokane Orphan Summit We are the same conference! We are just rebranding. We are still here to give Resources, Inspire, Support, and Equip families on their journey of foster care and adoption. |
This year we are partnering with Christ Kitchen to provide box lunches for a $13 add on option during registration. Lunch options will be a Chicken Salad Sandwich, a Ham & Cheese Sandwich, or a Gluten Free Curried Egg Salad. Every box lunch comes with fresh fruit, side salad, dessert and bottle of water. Lunch orders will NOT be available after January 31st. Christ Kitchen is a job-training project providing work, instruction, discipleship, support, and fellowship for women living in poverty in the Spokane area. Through the production and sales of gourmet dried food products and catered meals, this project enables women to learn to work, to become employable and, eventually, to support themselves and their families without reliance on government programs or destructive relationships.
** Purchasing your lunch is not required. Please feel free to check out the local restaurants or bring your own lunch from home.**
