How we reach people who need this most

Most people we serve don't have data plans or reliable phones. GroundLift meets them where they are.

SMS-first

Text HELP to a short-code and get shelter and food info by text — no app install.

Voice hotline (IVR)

Dial-in menu that walks callers through shelters, food, and crisis lines.

WhatsApp bot

Multilingual chat over WhatsApp — works over free-tier data plans.

QR & NFC help cards

Waterproof cards handed out at shelters and outreach vans — tap to open GroundLift.

Library kiosk mode

Full-screen public terminal that resets after every session — safe on shared PCs.

Weather-triggered alerts

Auto-broadcasts warming/cooling center openings when the forecast is dangerous.

Anyone can lift a life today.

One bottle of water, a hot meal, a ride, a job lead, a prayer. Everything counts.
