UP Together

Celebrating Community, Sharing Joy

Celebrate UP

Join us at Celebrate UP's monthly birthday parties, where we come together to connect with neighbors and celebrate every birthday of the month! Enjoy a warm and welcoming atmosphere filled with delicious dinner, thoughtful gifts, and, of course, cake! It’s the perfect way to build community and share in the joy of another year. Whether you're here to celebrate a loved one or make new friends, there’s always something special in store at our monthly gatherings!

We’d love your help! Donations of $10 gift cards, gift bags, birthday cards, cupcakes/cakes, ice cream, and party decorations are needed monthly for these celebrations. If you’d like to make a donation to UP specifically for the Celebrate UP birthday parties, let us know in the comments box.

Thanksgiving at UP

At UP Initiative, we believe in the power of community, especially during the holiday season. On Thanksgiving, we come together to create a feast that celebrates both giving and gratitude. Our doors will always be open on Thanksgiving Day for neighbors to donate food, share a meal, and enjoy the warmth of togetherness. Whether you’re contributing a dish or joining us to give thanks, everyone is welcome to be part of this special gathering. Our goal is to come together to build connections, show gratitude, and ensure no one feels alone on Thanksgiving.

Christmas at UP

At UP Initiative, Christmas is a time for everyone to feel the joy and warmth of the season. Through our holiday sponsorship program, we ensure that all of our neighbors have gifts to open on Christmas morning. On Christmas Day, we invite the community to come together for a festive dinner, where volunteers help provide a delicious meal for everyone to enjoy. Whether you come to celebrate, lend a hand, or share in the festive spirit, we welcome you to be a part of the UP family during the holiday season. Let’s make Christmas memorable for all!
