Lifting Up Communities supports individuals and families by providing essential items, direct outreach, and community-centered opportunities that promote dignity and stability. Our programs are built to meet immediate needs while strengthening our neighborhoods as a whole.
Below are our four core pillars of service.

We provide essential resources to individuals and families across Milwaukee, including:
• Hygiene kits
• Food and snack bags
• Winter gear (coats, hats, gloves, blankets)
• Household necessities
• Baby items
• Emergency care items
This pillar focuses on reducing everyday burdens and ensuring families have access to the basics they need to feel safe and supported.
Perfect for:
Community drives, partnerships, drop-off donations, and outreach efforts.
Serving our neighborhoods through consistent, impactful action.

Through every program, our goal remains the same: to uplift Milwaukee families with compassion, accessibility, and community-centered support. We meet people where they are — and walk with them toward greater stability, dignity, and hope.
