WELCOME

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 lift people up, restore their
well-being, and strengthen their independence.

Each year, we permanently change the lives of 2,500 men, women, and children by finding them stable housing, food, income, and other support systems to allow them to maintain an improved quality of life.

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

For over four decades, we have been making sure that our neighbors have critical resources like shelter, nutritious food, stable housing, access to healthcare and education, and the strong support systems they need to regain their independence.

We are here not only to repair well-being when it starts to break down but also to construct a strong foundation to maintain this well-being over time.

When you support the well-being of all of our Westchester neighbors, you make sure everyone can reach their potential and fully contribute to our community. You demonstrate that our interdependence upon each other makes our community thrive and prosper.

Lifting Up Westchester is uplifting individuals, which leads to stronger communities, a stronger economy, and a stronger society.
