Our mission is to provide a framework that allows individuals and families the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty and move to a place of more abundant lives. Uplift People of Elk Grove uses a comprehensive and holistic approach which focuses on avoiding homelessness, continuing education, financial management, securing employment, self evaluation and moving off public assistance. We bridge the cultural and socioeconomic class lines that often divide us. Uplift is built on the philosophy that all participants will gain greatly from their experience and that we all benefit from the support and encouragement of others. We work to challenge preconceived beliefs about poverty.
