Rise Up Lynchburg's Next Step Team is honored to participate in Lynchburg's Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) Walk, standing in solidarity with those experiencing homelessness and poverty. CNOY'S mission is to provide warmth, shelter, and vital resources and we are walking to support their incredible work.

But we're also walking toward an initiative that would help carry out . We are taking steps to establish The Next Step Center, a future community hub designed to empower individuals, strengthen nonprofits, and connect our community to essential resources. As the home of Rise Up Lynchburg's NeighborConnect Initiative, The Next Step Center will be a bridge coordinating resources, fostering collaboration, and ensuring that no one in our community is left behind.
