Lifting Local Families. Strengthening Our Community.

Who we are

The Local Lift exists to meet people where they are. We support families and students facing temporary hardship by providing essential assistance, educational opportunities, and community-driven support.

Rooted in compassion and powered by community, our mission is to help lift individuals and families toward stability and opportunity.

What We Do

  • Each quarter, one family is thoughtfully selected through our confidential nomination process to receive direct support.

    Funds may be used toward essential needs such as rent, groceries, or other immediate household expenses, helping ease financial stress during a difficult moment.

    Assistance is subject to availability of funds and does not constitute ongoing financial support.

  • Offering financial literacy workshops, educational guidance, and access to learning resources.

  • Helping students succeed through book scholarships, educational assistance, and mentorship opportunities.

  • Hosting community events, drives, and outreach initiatives that bring people together and meet real needs.

  • New Roots Legal Solutions LLC supports individuals and families in our community by providing compassionate immigration case assistance, helping understand and gather the documentation needed for their journeys. Through advocacy, care, and clear guidance, we work to make the immigration process more accessible and less overwhelming
