About Uplift Community Alliance

Formerly Assistance League® of Salt Lake City, we have rebranded with a fresh and exciting new name that reflects our 50+ years commitment to our community!


Who We Are and What We Do

We are thrilled to announce our new name: Uplift Community Alliance! While our name has changed, our commitment to uplifting the lives of children and adults in our community through hands-on philanthropic programs remains stronger than ever. We continue to provide new clothing to 5,000 elementary school children, urgent dental treatment to children in need, layettes for new mothers and infants, care kits for those victimized by sexual violence, college scholarships to students with financial need, and so much more. We remain dedicated to fully focusing our financial and volunteer efforts directly on the local community we have been serving for 50+ years.

Our History

Our volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization began helping the Salt Lake community in 1974 and officially organized as Assistance League of Salt Lake City, a chapter of National Assistance League, in 1977. In May 2025, we changed our name to Uplift Community Alliance to more accurately reflect our mission and community impact.

Since our inception, we have helped tens of thousands of individuals, children and families in our community and have grown into a financially stable, impactful force for good. Powered by our volunteer members, we fund, staff, develop and assess a diverse philanthropic outreach. Our programs are regularly evaluated and fine-tuned to respond to changing community needs, ensuring the highest benefit for those we serve. Visit our Programs pages to see how we impact lives in our community each year.

We Make a Difference Through the Power of Volunteerism

Uplift Community Alliance membership is made up of an impressive group of adults and teen volunteers who manage all aspects of our organization from leadership to philanthropic programs to staffing our popular Uplift Thrift shop! Our volunteering opportunities are flexible and value our members interests, time, skills and experience. Visit our Get Involved pages to learn more about our membership opportunities and how you can become part of an organization that uplifts through giving!
