Dear friend,

We have some exciting news! Lift UP is growing and we moved to a new combined office and warehouse space. Our new warehouse has doubled our capacity to feed our community.

Many neighbors we serve are still recovering from the pandemic, and with higher food costs due to inflation and decreases in SNAP benefits, we are seeing the need for nutritious food access increase.

In 2021, 39% of all visitors to Preston's Pantry were new. We've seen a 57% increase use of our Emergency Food Closets in buildings over the past year and an uptick in requests for Delivered Food Boxes.

Our new address is:

3448 NW Yeon Avenue

Portland, OR 97210

"Our new warehouse space allows for LIFT UP to continue to meet the demand and need of our growing services. From creating new community partners to increasing food delivered to emergency food closets, we now have room for possibility," says Cecilia Estraviz, Operations Manager. 

Supporters like you have made our growth possible. Although we are still getting settled in, feel free to stop by and say hi! Stay tuned for a warehouse warming party.

Thanks again for all that you do to ensure food security for our neighbors.

Gratefully yours,

Stephanie Barr
