Support LIFT-UP this giving season!

Hi, I’m Samantha, and I’m honored to be part of the LIFT-UP team. I’ve lived in this amazing community for over 20 years with my spouse and kids, and for more than four years, I’ve had the privilege of helping local families through LIFT-UP’s programs that provide food, resources, and hope.

My connection to this work is deeply personal—years ago, my family received help from the Rifle Pantry after losing our son. That experience reminded me how powerful compassion and community can be. The kindness I was shown then continues to inspire me every day to give back and support others who are facing tough times.

At LIFT-UP, I see firsthand how even small acts of generosity can make a big difference. Whether it’s providing food, stability, or simply encouragement, our work is about dignity, hope, and connection.

This community has given me so much, and I’m proud to serve it through LIFT-UP. Please consider donating— I know times are tight, but if you’re in a position to help, your support truly changes lives. Together, we can keep lifting one another up.
