Lift Urban Portland's Monthly eNewsletter
Dear Neighbor,
Making Connections is right around the corner! Between our Golden Ticket Raffle, Silent and Live Auctions, and Wine Wall, there are plenty of ways to support our community while also having a fun and memorable experience. We have some fantastic community partners who contribute all year long, and this year have come through with some impressive donations!
Tickets for Making Connections are only $65 and can be purchased in advance online. Each ticket sold helps us ensure everyone in our community has access to healthy food.
Look forward to seeing you there!

NIBA volunteers in our warehouse
A heartfelt thank you to all of our community partners who supported our fight against hunger by collecting food and funds last season! Together, we collected more than 5,900 pounds of food and $12,116 in funds. In total that is the equivalent of 12,100 meals. We appreciate our community and all of the hard work you do to help us connect neighbors with nutrition.
SNAP Benefits
A new proposal from the Trump administration would take SNAP benefits away from more than 3 million people across the U.S., including many families, seniors, and people with disabilities. This change would take food away from tens of thousands of families in Oregon, make it harder for our neighbors to access the food resources on which they rely. While Lift UP provides fresh and healthy foods to people in Northwest and Downtown, most of our neighbors access multiple resources to ensure their needs are met.
The proposed rule change was published last month, kicking off a 60-day public comment period, ending on September 23. Submitting a comment is the best way to make your voice heard.
