The Rise Up Initiative began in 2020, when Rep. Mike Soter recognized that many families and individuals were struggling amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. To make the situation worse, families and friends could not gather as they typically would have. Under the Rise Up program, Rep. Soter works with local restaurants and volunteers to prepare and distribute hundreds of Easter meals to the 8th Worcester District. This year's ham dinners will be distributed on March 28th from 1 to 2 pm, with drive-thru pick ups for Blackstone and Millville residents at the AFM/JFK Elementary School.
