For over 25 years, Lift International Church has been a cornerstone of the Pasadena and Altadena communities, providing spiritual guidance, support, and critical services to those in need. Following the fires, we have opened a crisis center, offering food, clothing, food, toiletries, counseling, and hope to victims seeking to rebuild their lives. Like so many in our community, my family and I experienced personal loss, as our home was among those destroyed. Yet, we remain committed to serving others during this time of need.
​
By partnering with Lift International Church, you are aiding immediate relief efforts and investing in the long-term restoration of a community with a rich heritage and an unbreakable spirit.
