Over its 11 year history, LIFT has helped more than 30,000 individuals and families on a path out of poverty. This means jobs, homes, food, and clothing for individuals struggling to provide for themselves and their families. LIFT works with over 6,000 clients annually to meet their immediate and long-term needs while simultaneously providing the support and compassion to clients whose hope and confidence were undermined by seemingly insurmountable obstacles. By coaching LIFT clients to develop an internal toolkit, clients are able to bounce back from challenges and setbacks. Our goal is that 10,000 LIFT volunteers will have advanced 100,000 clients on their path toward economic security and personal success by 2015.
