Together, We Can Help End Hunger in Portland
At Lift UP, we believe that everyone deserves healthy and nutritious food. We take great pride in ensuring our neighbors have access to the quality food they deserve.
The rising cost of living, compounded with cuts to pandemic-era supplemental food benefits, has caused food insecurity to soar for many in our community over the last two years. Usage of onsite pantries in Adopted Buildings doubled following 2023 benefit cuts, and has remained on the rise ever since.
With your support, we have been able to rise to meet this growing need without compromising our values of abundance, dignity, and joy.
