Hop Into Spring 5K

The Hop into Spring 5K 2025 is proud to have RISE coffee & tea as the charity partner. 

RISE coffee & tea is a local coffee shop all about knowing, loving and serving our community through healthy, delicious, locally sourced coffee and "baked from scratch" gluten free goods while providing a bigger stage for people with special needs to SHINE their light! 

New additions such as the mobile cart and trailer has truly taken us to the next level. We look forward to knowing more names and faces, loving even deeper, and serving at higher levels in the coming months.

Join us in spreading the RISE love so that we can continue to provide meaningful employment for our special friends as well as our neurotypical peeps who have mad skills and huge hearts!
