Healing & Working in Community

Community on the Rise breaks barriers by believing in people. We listen to our community so we can problem-solve around poverty together. We celebrate the strength & gifts survivors offer. We build innovative infrastructure so people truly have the opportunity to move forward.

Community on the Rise is the only nonprofit in Alabama recycling #5PP plastics, and it is the hands of survivors who are providing this beneficial service for our earth & economy.

We invite people to heal and thrive in community.
