Dear Neighbor,

What an exciting year for Lift Urban Portland! We expanded our Adopt a Building program and received a sponsorship for a second van from SELCO Community Credit Union. We now have the potential to offer services to 2,500 more residents in Northwest and Downtown Portland. With your support, you provide us the opportunity to connect more residents with healthy food options.

A $25 donation supplies a vulnerable neighbor with one week's worth of delivered groceries.

Pearla, a resident at a low income apartment building not yet part of the Adopt a Building program, visits Preston’s Pantry and Free Food Market regularly. She understands how our services can benefit her neighbors.

“People in low-income housing must choose between paying for food or housing. My very existence has changed because of these programs. But not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to get to Preston's Pantry or Free Food Market.”

With your help, Lift Urban Portland will be closer to doubling the amount of residents we feed. Raising $15,000 will give us the capability to fill our new van and provide fresh and healthy foods to our neighbors.

Help us reach more of our community in 2019 by supporting the Adopt a Building
program, keeping our neighbors fed, healthy, housed and happy.

Sincerely,

Erin Goldwater
Executive Director

Help Pearla and other neighbors access services
that strengthen and build our community.
