We can hardly believe the terms for our Board President, Susan Milstein and previous Board President, Bruce Strade have ended. Susan and Bruce both plan to continue their hard work and dedication to Lift Urban Portland. Susan is the new Chair of our Advisory Council and Bruce will continue his role on the Development Committee. We thank them full-heartedly for everything they have done for our board, organization, and community! 

“It has been a pleasure working with Susan and Bruce - they've been invaluable to the leadership of Lift UP!”
- Erin, Executive Director

We are excited to announce that Otak is our newest Adopt a Building partner! Thanks to Otak, we will provide monthly Delivered Food Boxes to home-bound residents, an on-site Emergency Food Closet, and Healthy Eating Workshops to residents at Morrison Park.

Our first Healthy Eating Workshops at Helen Swindells have begun! Apartments in the building only have a microwave so eating healthy is a challenge, but not impossible. We are excited to share low-maintenance healthy eating strategies with the residents to show that it's possible!

We received a Hardware Grant from Free Geek! We thank them for helping our organization access technology and further our mission.

“Delivering Food Boxes to someone who is home-bound is personal. I get to bring a smile and fresh food to their door. I can see it lift their spirit. It certainly lifts mine!”

Deliver Food Boxes using Lift UP van or personal vehicle to locations in NW and Downtown Portland. Tue, Wed, or Fri.
