What exactly does LIFT do, and how? On Wednesday, September 26th, LIFT-Philadelphia’s West Office will be hosting an open house from 10am-11:30am to answer those questions! Feel free to drop in to take a tour of our office, meet with current clients and volunteers, and learn more about LIFT’s services.

LIFT is a growing movement to combat poverty and expand opportunity for all people in the United States. LIFT currently runs centers staffed by trained volunteers in Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, to serve low-income individuals and families.
LIFT clients and volunteers work one-on-one to find jobs, secure safe and stable housing, make ends meet through public benefits and tax credits, and obtain quality referrals for services like childcare and healthcare. Simultaneously, the LIFT experience pushes volunteers to grapple with our country’s most challenging issues related to poverty, race, inequality, and policy. Since LIFT’s founding, over 6,000 volunteers have served more than 40,000 individuals and families.
