2025 Lift Where You Live Champions

The Heart of the Neighborhood

Kevin Briggs knows that "lifting where you live" starts right at your front door. Whether he is regularly serving meals to those in need or grabbing a shovel to clear a neighbor's driveway after a Utah snowstorm, Kevin leads with his hands. He proves that consistent, small acts of service build the strongest foundations.

Catching the Vision

When Angela Dunn joined a Meals on Wheels team activity, she didn't just volunteer for a day—she caught the vision. Since then, she has returned time and again to serve, demonstrating the kind of persistent dedication that defines our mission. Angela shows us that once you start lifting, you don’t want to stop.

A Global Reach from Home

Nancy Marts reminds us that our partnership knows no borders. From decorating bags for foster children and honoring fallen veterans to providing motorbikes for women in Africa and clothing for refugees, Nancy’s generosity has touched lives across the street and across the globe.

Building with Compassion

Pam Ashens and Robert Tagatz lead their team with a rare combination of grit and heart. By partnering with Habitat for Humanity, they aren’t just building houses; they are building hope and stability for families. Pam and Rob are true examples of leaders who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty for the sake of others.

Finding Opportunity Everywhere

For Jen and Mark Laurie, every drive is a chance to make a difference. After seeing trash on the highway and deciding "this is a lift where you live opportunity," they took action. From potato picking for donations to active participation in every foundation event, they show us that service is a lifestyle.
