At Biscuitville, our purpose is to enhance lives by serving others–and that begins with serving each other.

At Biscuitville, our purpose is to enhance lives by serving others–and that begins with serving each other.

The Biscuitville Rise Fund was created by employees, for employees. We understand that life can throw any one of us a curve ball. The mission of the Rise Fund is to help our fellow employees who find themselves coping with unforeseen financial hardships. The fund relies on donations from individual employees, along with financial support from Biscuitville, Inc., and outside donors.

Donations will be used strictly to help our fellow team members in need. No funds will be used for administrative costs or fundraising. Your donations are tax deductible. To ensure every penny donated goes to employees, we’re partnering with America’s Charities, a 501(c)3 nonprofit with over 40 years of proven charitable funds-management expertise.

We hope that you’ll consider contributing, at any level possible. After all, we rise by lifting others.

“I can’t thank my co-workers enough for helping me and my family get through unexpected medical expenses. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
The Rise Fund was really what kept me afloat after my partner's death. To be able to grieve and not have that extra financial stress on top of me—literally, I don't think any other company would have made it easier.
I was in the hospital for 10 to 12 days, my rent was almost a month and a half behind, and there were car payments and car insurance. (The Rise Fund) came back in a positive way to help me, and I felt so relieved. I was not worried and stressing myself about bills. I had to worry about my health in order to get back in the game. The Rise Fund really came through for me.
My boss at work is the one who told me about The Rise Fund. It kept me and my daughter from being homeless.
With The Rise Fund, I don't know where I'd be. Now I contribute every week. It's there to give you a helping hand when you need it.
