and more to announced!

The LIFT Concert is a fundraiser for hunger relief, a celebration of local musicians, and a community-building gathering, all in one event. The concert raises funds for our food programs offering healthy nutritious food to Oakland and Alameda County individuals and families living with food insecurity. Lake Lunches serves our unhoused or under-resourced neighbors by delivering 20,000 lunches a year! Twice weekly, we meet people where they live with a healthy lunch and hygiene goods. Our monthly food pantry serves 5,000 bags of groceries a year, supporting primarily our elderly neighbors on a fixed income.

This homegrown musical event features local musicians, all of whom are generously donating their time and talent. And the event has no admission price. We desire everyone in our community to come and be part of this gathering. But we ask for those who can, share, bring your friends, donate and encourages others to do so as well. To learn more about what you are supporting, volunteer!

Register to attend the concert or donate! Donate what your heart tells you! All donations go 100% to support these food programs.
