Giving Hope,One Meal at a Time
Our Mission :
At Lift Up Lives, we believe that homelessness is not just about losing a home—it’s about losing dignity, opportunity, and the feeling of belonging.
That’s why we go beyond traditional soup kitchens. Instead of handouts, we provide meal vouchers that allow individuals to dine at local restaurants, giving them the freedom to choose their own meal in a welcoming space.
But a meal is just the beginning. We also provide:
Hygiene kits & warm clothing
No one should have to face the world feeling unprepared.
Community support & kindness
Because homelessness is more than just hunger—it’s isolation.
A pathway to hope
We remind people that they are not forgotten
Our Story
How It All Began
What if one day, you lost everything?
Our journey started with a simple yet powerful encounter. One day, outside a supermarket, a homeless man asked for change. Instead of just giving him money, we asked, “Why don’t you get help from the Local Authority?
His response changed everything.
“I have nothing,” he said.
No documents. No address. No way to prove who he was.
Without ID, he couldn’t apply for help. Without help, he couldn’t get back on his feet.
At that moment, we realized the system is broken—and that we could do something about it.
That’s why we launched Lift Up Lives. Not just to feed people, but to remind them that they are seen, valued, and cared for.
