Resource Drive

Is your business, group, family, faith community, or social circle looking to give back? UpSpring distributes thousands of crucial items through the UpSpring Resource Collaborative, but this would not be possible without support from the community. UpSpring is always looking for individuals and groups to facilitate item drives (winter clothing, hygiene kits, laundry kits, shoes) and assemble kits. This opportunity is highly flexible (this is a year-round need), and available to all! Details are available at https://www.upspring.org/volunteer

How you help

By giving your time, talent, and resources to UpSpring, you are giving children, who are experiencing homelessness, hope for a better future. You are providing the essential items necessary for students to get to school, stay in school, and succeed in school. You are giving students the opportunity to develop a passion that they may not have known they had within themselves. Your help develops the consistency, connectivity, and community needed to empower these children and youth.

About us

As the region’s only non-profit exclusively serving the educational needs of homeless children and youth, UpSpring provides these students with the consistency needed to achieve academic success and become well-rounded, active participants in their community. A consistent education breaks the cycle of childhood homelessness and elevates kids, families, & communities.
