ELEVATING LIVES
AND RISING TO
NEW HEIGHTS
RISE Life Services (an Aid to the Developmentally Disabled Company) helps to enhance the quality of life for over 180
individuals who reside in 32 of our residential homes and supported housing. RISE provides residential options from
supportive housing to independent living in the community; from work incentives and transitional programs to
individualized services. However, our mission goes far beyond housing and programs. It is about creating pride and self
esteem in each individual and empowering them to reach their goals.
RISE Life Services features community programs such as a working farm and sensory gardens, community food pantry,
day program and more. We continue to grow and expand our oerings. Growth also requires support from sponsors
and donors from our community in order to reach our goals. Please take a moment to consider supporting the work of
RISE whereby people with a range of abilities are actively encouraged to develop and be recognized for their unique
desires, ambitions, values and abilities. One of our current goals is to build our endowment. There are many ways you
can help. Please go to our website at www.riselifeservices.org and click on Estate Planning. If you have any questions
please call Charles Evdos, Executive Director at (631) 727-6220 x 203. Your support of RISE can help us to continue to
build a foundation from which to grow and move condently towards a secure nancial future.
OUR MISSION: RISE Life Services provides a residential and supported living environment dedicated to empowering people with intellectual
disabilities and mental health challenges to RISE to their full potential.
