Every Act of Support Builds a Stronger Community

Your Support Matters

Karis is the only therapeutic community of its kind in the region and one of only a few nationwide. Through the generous support of donors, we can offer our program for as low as $685 per month, making it an affordable option for many. The Empowerment Program provides individual check-ins, six weekly support group meetings, evening community meals, household supplies, utilities, onsite peer support, and mental health services. Private treatment centers comparable to Karis often cost upwards of $ 10,000 per month, resulting in inaccessibility for individuals with lower incomes. Without Karis, many Community Members would be stuck in cycles of instability, further perpetuating what often feels like unmanageable situations. 

Gifts are often made via cash, check, or credit card. If you prefer to mail a check, please make it payable to “Karis Community” and send it to:

Karis Community

Karis is a non-profit organization that depends on private donations for its financial viability. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of folks managing serious and persistent illness!
