Support Step Up Parents during Spinning Generosity!

On December 13, Step Up Parents will ride for a cause for the fourth year in a row during LizFit's Spinning Generosity! Spinning Generosity is a seven-day indoor cycling fundraiser where riders and sponsors raise money for seven local organizations. We've increased our fundraising goal to $25,000 this year and need riders and donors to help us make this happen. Will you Step Up?

 Our missioN

Support kinship caregivers

 

Step Up Parents provides financial assistance to kinship caregivers in New Hampshire and Southern Maine who are raising the children of parents with substance use disorder. Even heroes need a hand.

 
 
 
 

How we help

Funding deserving families

Kinship caregivers are relatives or friends who step up to care for, nurture and protect children who find themselves without a responsible parent or safe place to live. For these caregivers, the most immediate need is often financial. Step Up Parents responds by striving to meet every family’s individual needs, whether it is aid with the cost of daycare, clothing, baby supplies, music lessons, legal fees or a special camp for a struggling child.
