It's time to get started.

For over 25 years, Lift International Church has been a cornerstone of the  Altadena community, 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, our Pastor and First Lady experienced personal loss, as their home was among those destroyed. Yet, they 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.
We are raising funds that will directly benefit the victims of the Eaton Fire.  If you are a corporation, or individual who wants to ensure your donation is going directly to the the Altadena community, we encourage  you to donate to the Eaton Fire Fund.
