UPLIFT Supports Students Through Back-to-School Supply Distributions
In late August 2026, UPLIFT Academy distributed back-to-school supplies to students and families at five community partner locations: Alaaka Association, Masjid Fallahee, Masjid Mubarak, Masjid Muhammad, and Seminary Baptist Church. The backpacks were generously sponsored by Embrace Relief and the Turkish Cultural Center, helping students begin the new school year with essential supplies.
