Lift Global Inc. Partners Again with Shepherdstown Rotary to Support Local Students

For the second consecutive year, Lift Global Inc. is proud to partner with the Shepherdstown Rotary Club to provide backpacks and essential school supplies to students in need across Jefferson County. This ongoing collaboration is part of our shared commitment to empower young learners and support families as the new school year begins.

At the Rotary Club’s morning meeting this week, a donation check was presented to Walt Eifert, the organizer of the Rotary’s Backpack Project. This heartfelt initiative will deliver fully stocked backpacks to 160 students at North Jefferson Elementary, T.A. Lowery Elementary, Shepherdstown Day Care Center, Blue Ridge Elementary, and Ranson Elementary. These supplies will help ensure that every student starts the school year feeling prepared, inspired, and supported.

The Shepherdstown Rotary Club continues to demonstrate its dedication to community service and leadership through impactful projects like this one. We at Lift Global are honored to support their mission and grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such an outstanding organization.

Expanding Our Impact: New Shoes for a New School Year

In addition to our support of the backpack program, Lift Global Inc. is launching a new initiative this year—one aimed at making sure students not only have the supplies they need but also start the year with confidence, from head to toe.

We’re excited to introduce our Shoe Voucher Program, which offers families the opportunity to apply for vouchers to purchase new school shoes. Each voucher allows a student to choose their own shoes—selecting a style that suits them and gives them a boost of confidence as they head into the classroom.

Priority will be given to children living in the Fox Glen and the Apple Tree Garden Apartment communities. Parents and guardians can apply for the voucher through our Shoe Voucher Application, now open to the public until August 12.


Investing in Our Communities

At Lift Global Inc., we believe that small actions create lasting change. By investing in the tools and confidence that students need to succeed, we’re contributing to a stronger, more empowered community—one child at a time.

Stay tuned for more updates on our community engagement efforts throughout the year. Together, we can continue lifting lives and building brighter futures.
