A Special Message From Andrea!

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity."
                                                                            — Paulo Coelho

After 3 ½ years of serving a mission so aligned to the heart, I am sad to share that I am transitioning out of my role with Lift UP. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served a community I adore alongside a dedicated, hunger-fighting dream team. I’d like to thank Lift UP and its network of support for all of the memories and times we have shared.

It has been an honor to promote community nourishment in a very intentional and vibrant way. Supper Club has offered invaluable lessons, skills, and stories in support of our community. For that I thank you all.  

I will be taking time to travel and further enrich my curiosity for community wellness. In the meantime, I will be studying as well as putting all that is learned into practice before jumping back into the dance.
