Lift Urban Portland's Monthly eNewsletter
Dear Neighbor,
This is the time of year for us to celebrate, appreciate each other, and show gratitude for our supportive community. We have been incredibly busy this last month with increased donations from our Community Partners, especially Amazon Prime.
Although many of our neighbors still experience food insecurity, this is an opportunity for us to work together to ensure they have access to this food. We invite you to join us in the effort to connect our community with the resources we all need access to, so we can celebrate the holidays as one family.
Food brings us together!
Executive Director
Meet our Warehouse Specialist!
We are pleased to announce our newest staff member, Ceci Estraviz!
Ceci has been serving as our temporary Warehouse Specialist for the last few months and has now taken over the role officially. Whether she's coordinating with our Glean Team to source food from our Community Partners or out in the neighborhood delivering groceries as part of our Adopt a Building program, we're grateful for her endless energy and enthusiasm in connecting people with fresh and healthy foods.
Welcome to the Lift UP team, Ceci!
Community Christmas Dinner
Celebrate the season with community!
Each year, Lift UP partners with Congregation Beth Israel to host a Community Christmas Dinner for our neighbors. It's a great opportunity to provide warm meals as well as spread the holiday cheer. We are still in need of drivers to deliver meals to the neighbors unable to make it to Congregation Beth Israel. To sign up, click here.
