About Lift Up

Lift Up was created to help individuals with special needs, and their families, live fulfilling lives in their local communities. This ranges from daily support and resources to future planning for adulthood. Lift Up is currently building out systems, tools and services to meet people where they live. We strive to serve those in our community so they can achieve their goals and potential in life.

Helping Navigate Services

Lift Up provides financial support for individuals to receive after school support/care, tutoring and summer camp grants, all based on need.   â€‹â€‹

Our education initiatives focus on providing individuals and families with help navigating the local and state systems. There are programs and resources available, but these systems are difficult to understand and navigate. We assist with this process so everyone gets what they need.
