LET’S LIFT UP OUR COMMUNITY

We are partnering with our local food pantry, LIFT-UP, to help those in need in our community for the full month of September.

LIFT-UP provides food to those in need, whether due to economic or medical hardships, the COVID-19 pandemic, or natural disasters like the Grizzly Creek fire. LIFT-UP manages multiple programs providing humanitarian essentials*, including two Extended Tables (soup kitchens), Meal Monkey (student lunch program in RE-2 school district) and the newly re-opened LIFT-UP Rifle Thrift Store. In addition, they’ve worked with local resources to take the Farm to Food Pantry program to new heights, stimulating our economy with the purchase of fresh produce and beef from local farmers and ranchers while bringing healthier and fresh food choices to those in need.

*Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, food distribution has moved from their seven brick & mortar food pantries to drive-through distribution sites from Aspen to DeBeque. LIFT-UP is serving over 400 families weekly (3 times the normal need) throughout the valley and I-70 corridor. Please join us in supporting LIFT-UP and our community in need.
