The Uplyft Group began with a simple truth: every individual deserves the chance to live, learn, and thrive with dignity.
What started as Autism Ally Group — a small community supporting families navigating autism — has grown into The Uplyft Group, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to building a more inclusive world for people with disabilities.
The Uplyft Center is where spiritual inclusion meets personal growth. It’s a space designed to nurture both soul and skill — helping individuals with disabilities find belonging in faith, build confidence through talent, and access pathways to meaningful employment and friendship.
From accessible worship to inclusive hiring, the Uplyft Center turns inclusion into action and faith into empowerment.
Florence Kitchen exists at the intersection of nutrition, dignity, and inclusion. We believe that access to food should never depend on ability, income, or circumstance. Our programs combine nourishment with empowerment—offering food security, skill-building, and opportunities for independence within our communities.

Our Talent Show is a joyful showcase of creativity, courage, and ability — a stage where individuals with disabilities can express themselves freely and confidently. The event nurtures confidence, builds social inclusion, and challenges stereotypes by redefining what talent truly means.
The minds and hearts driving change, one program at a time.
