Lift Urban Portland's Monthly eNewsletter Dear Neighbor,At Lift UP, we are preparing for the holiday season! After closing our pantry due to a maintenance emergency, Preston’s Pantry is open again and ensuring our neighbors have food. We appreciate all of the support we received from our clients, volunteers, and community partners during the closure and maintenance repairs, especially the volunteers who braved the Portland weather on Fridays, distributing food to our neighbors rain or shine. A special thank you goes out to William Temple House. Their team worked closely with ours to redistribute extra food and manage an increased number of shoppers during our closure. It is circumstances like this that truly show how food brings us together. With thanks, Executive Director Geeks Who Drink: Quiz for a Cause! Lift UP is partnering with Holiday Food and Fund Drive Is your business, church, or school interested in partnering with Lift UP to gather food for our neighbors in need?
