Every day, families in our community face big challenges: housing instability, financial stress, mental health struggles, and the pressure of trying to care for their children without enough support. At The Up Center, we walk beside them with counseling, coaching, and practical tools so they can move from crisis toward stability.
Your gift today writes the next chapter in stories like Destiny’s, Yolanda’s, and many others.
How Your Gift Works Across Our Community
When you give to The Up Center, you support a full circle of care for children, families, and individuals:
In-home support, coaching, and early childhood services that help parents build strong, healthy relationships with their children.
Counseling, therapy, and recovery services that make it easier to get help close to home, including our Cohen Military Family Clinic.
Coaching and classes that support budgeting, credit repair, homeownership, and stable housing.
Services that help people with disabilities or complex needs build skills, manage daily life, and live as independently as possible.
