From Lifelines to Lasting Change

Our mission is to provide life-changing support to people who have lost their housing or are struggling to meet other basic needs. We partner with those we serve to build a more secure future for themselves and their families. 

We are on a mission to uplift people, restore their
well-being, and strengthen their independence.

Each year, Lifting Up Westchester touches the lives of 3,000 men, women, and children who are facing homelessness, hunger, and extreme poverty. We envision a community where everyone has a stable place to call home. Housing is the foundation on which a person’s well-being and advancement are built. With secure housing, we have the ability to focus on improving our health, education, and employment. Our team helps people find a home, build on that foundation, and achieve greater self-sufficiency.

Approximately 1,600 people are homeless each night in Westchester County — almost two-thirds are families with children.

For nearly 50 years, Lifting Up Westchester has been a lifeline for our neighbors in crisis - providing emergency shelter, nutritious meals, stable housing, employment support, healthcare access, and academic mentoring to help individuals rebuild their lives.

Every day, members of our community are facing hunger, homelessness, and hardship. With your support, we can ensure they do not face it alone.

Together, we’re creating a stronger, more resilient Westchester. Join us in building a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
