RISE Inc. (Rural Innovations in Social Economics, Incorporated) is a non-profit public benefit organization that provides free services to the Madison, Esparto, Winters and Capay Valley communities. RISE Inc. was founded by Cathie Wicks and Tammy Fullerton over 25 years ago in Esparto to provide youth prevention/early intervention and family case management services. In August of 2009, RISE Inc. opened a satellite office in Winters where it was apparent that the residents of Winters needed more access to social services and resources. RISE Inc. has been successful in serving the Winters community by collaborating with local schools, law enforcement, and the Winters Health Foundation. In 2011 the founders of RISE inc. retired and promoted Tico Zendejas as the current Executive Director.

The Esparto RISE Inc. office is located at 17317 Fremont Street, Esparto, California 95627.
