The LIFT Concert is a fundraiser for hunger relief, a celebration of local musicians, and a community-building gathering, all in one event. The concert raises funds for our food programs offering healthy nutritious food to Oakland individuals and families living with food insecurity. Lake Lunches serves our unhoused or under-resourced neighbors by delivering 20,000 lunches a year! Twice weekly we meet people where they live with a healthy lunch and hygiene products. Our monthly food pantry serves 5,000 bags of groceries a year, supporting primarily our elderly neighbors on a fixed income. Learn more here.
This homegrown musical event features local musicians, all of whom are generously donating their time and talent. And the event has no admission price. We desire everyone in our community to come and be part of this event.
