Erie UpLink

Our Story

What began as a conversation among three mothers about the needs in the Erie community ignited a larger mission, leading to the establishment of Erie UpLink. Inspired by a simple act of kindness when Lexi's son shared extra food with classmates lacking lunch money, Erie UpLink was formed to serve as a vital link between those in need and those willing to help. Starting with the flagship Tiger Packs program, which initially served 11 students, the organization has rapidly expanded its reach, now providing food assistance to over 150 children each month.

With the generous support of the community, Erie UpLink has grown to offer seasonal clothing, personal items, Christmas stockings, and scholarships for college planning. The organization is dedicated to connecting Erie families with essential resources to meet their basic life needs, fostering hope and care within the community.

Impact

Since its founding in 2011, Erie UpLink has proudly served nearly 1,600 students from over 500 families. As a 100% volunteer-run organization, every dollar raised stays in Erie, directly benefiting local families.
