Dear friend,

We have reached the one-year mark of the Covid pandemic and reflecting on the last twelve months, we couldn’t be more grateful to all of our community members- clients, volunteers, donors, and staff- who have stepped up to support Lift UP and work with us to continue to provide food access to our neighbors who need it.

For our community partners who support Lift UP’s Adopt a Building program, we are especially grateful. COVID-19 forced us to make drastic and immediate modifications to our services that aid some of our most vulnerable community members. Thankfully, our supporters, housing agency partners, and residents in many of the low-income buildings we serve worked with us to continue to provide Delivered Food Boxes and stock Emergency Food Closets. Because of you, our neighbors who aren’t able to shop at Preston’s Pantry never lost access to food.

While we’ve all experienced stress and anxiety through the past year, reflecting on how this experience has made the Lift UP community even stronger provides a sense of confidence that no matter what barriers we face, when we face them together, we can overcome anything.

A special thanks to our community members who partner with Lift UP and support our Adopt a Building program. Because of you, we were able to connect neighbors with more than 17,600 dietary-specific, fresh, wholesome meals. Your dedication and commitment to the fight against hunger keeps our community healthy, housed, and happy. We appreciate you!
