Become a Sustaining Member of Lift UP!
This month, we are inviting Lift UP supporters to join our Sustaining Member community. Sustaining Members enable Lift UP to:
- Plan for the future, knowing we can count on support throughout the year.
- Focus our energy and resources on program development and service delivery instead of fundraising.
- Build a community where access to an essential human need is a sustainable priority.
- Deepen the roots for food justice in Portland.
Becoming a Sustaining Member of Lift UP is like planting a seed and watching it grow. By increasing our Sustaining Members by 50 new donors (or by current Sustaining Members increasing their existing donations) we have secured a generous match of $5,000 – making it possible to take action and become a Sustaining Member now.
Sustaining members also receive perks, including Lift UPdate exclusives and special recognition.
A donation of $35 each month provides more than 1,200 healthy, nutritious meals each year. Sustaining Members at this level and above will receive an additional, one-time thank you gift from Lift UP.

What a week! Amidst all of the challenges we continue to face, Lift UP has relaunched our Free Food Market partner program with Oregon Food Bank and hosted our first virtual event, Making Connections 2020!
Our Executive Director Stephanie reflected on the last seven days and how we've continued to grow despite the circumstances we all continue to experience. |
While Lift UP has been fortunate to continue providing fresh, healthy, nutritious food to our neighbors in need without interruption, we are now experiencing fluctuations in our food sourcing that have us concerned.
Food access has always been unpredictable, but when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the federal government changed the way it supports food banks across the country in an effort to stabilize our food supply. Learn more about how you can support Lift UP during these changing times. |
Lift UP lost one of our most valuable volunteers in June. Kevin Larkin was our lead volunteer at Preston's Pantry, and also so much more. He was a welcoming and devoted member of our community.
Read some reflections from those who knew Kevin best here, and to add your own memories of him, email Brett, our Community Engagement Manager here. |
