We are putting our resources behind assisting our community – but we need your help. Here are two ways to help lift lives UP of those in need in our community:
1. Become a Sponsor.
Various sponsorships levels are available. Included in the sponsorship levels are seats and table host opportunities. Invite family, friends, and colleagues to contribute financially if they feel so moved. We hope you will put on the cape and answer the call to action.
2. Make a general donation, whether that’s one time or on a reoccurring basis.
General donations are put to use where the need is greatest, they ensure we can continue to operate and provide the services and programs for those in need in the St. Lucie county community.

With good intentions, many organizations address the symptoms of poverty by providing something for nothing. These handouts may help people get by, but they often end up stripping people of their dignity instead of lifting and empowering them.
UP St. Lucie, as our program participants call us, is a nonprofit organization that exists to break the cycle of poverty in our community through programs that focus on empowerment rather than entitlement. We are proud to serve an average of 325 families in need each day!
