People come to Preston’s Pantry knowing things about their own kitchens that no one else can: what their family enjoys, what agrees with their body, what they have time to cook, and what they’re looking forward to making.

Having a say in what comes home matters. Keeping fresh produce and a variety of groceries available helps make room for that everyday decision-making, with each neighbor’s knowledge of their own life at the center. 🥬

You don’t have to know everyone in your building to start doing something together.

Hosting a Food + Fund Drive can begin with a conversation: Who wants to help? What can we contribute? How can we invite more people in?

Some people organize, some give, some spread the word. Those contributions connect with the work of pantry shoppers, volunteers, growers, and staff who help shape food access in our neighborhoods every day.

Bring ‘Keep Choice on the Shelf’ to your building, workplace, or gathering place this fall. Lift UP can help with planning and materials.

We’re hiring a Nutrition Education Manager!

Lift UP is looking for a skilled nutrition educator who can translate nutrition science into practical, approachable, and culturally responsive learning experiences.

This role will lead our Supper Club program and develop nutrition education for residents of affordable housing, Preston’s Pantry shoppers, community partners, and supporters. The right person will bring experience designing curriculum, facilitating groups, developing accessible recipes and educational materials, and helping people build the knowledge and confidence to make nourishing choices with the foods available to them.

We’re seeking someone who understands that effective nutrition education is not about judgment or prescribing a “right” way to eat. It is about listening, meeting people where they are, communicating clearly, and creating opportunities for learning that respect culture, choice, health needs, and lived experience.

At Lift UP, food is more than a basic need. It is nourishment, dignity, connection, and belonging.

If your background brings together nutrition expertise, strong facilitation, thoughtful program design, and a commitment to food justice, we would love to hear from you.
