Throughout the year we serve on Mason's Campus as well as in the community. Here are a few of the ways we have served this year!
Hypothermia Shelter at St. Peter in the Woods Episcopalian Church
Hypothermia Shelter
Local churches in the Fairfax area open their doors to allow homeless guests to stay overnight. Arise hosted a dinner and stayed overnight this winter to serve.
Advocacy

Arise works on campus advocating for and supporting our LGBTQ+ students in connection with the LGBTQ+ resource office. We help co-host events throughout the year, especially during Pride Week.
Stop hunger now
In past years Arise has hosted a Stop Hunger Now event on Mason's campus. These events were sponsored by St. Matthews UMC in Annandale. This year we helped pack meals at our partner church Little River UCC in Annandale!
