We need your help to really make a difference.

People who are at the depths of despair deserve a break, an opportunity, a chance, a LIFT in the right direction. Some were never given hope, never lead, never taught to believe in themselves. We do just that. This program is designed to LIFT people’s confidence, spirits, souls – to be better, do better and to live better.

DONATE MONEY

Your donations are needed to provide healthy snacks, athletic wear (shorts, shirts and shoes), incentives, education and employment assistance, ensure quality program implementation and more. Please consider giving to this extraordinary cause and LIFTing up our most needy.
