Our Story

The Uplift Collective is a volunteer non-profit based in Sidney Center, NY dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in the Southern Tier and Western Catskills regions of New York with a focus on support for children experiencing a significant health crisis. Formerly, the Sidney Center Improvement Group, our mission has expanded to providing support, resources, and care to those in need, ensuring that every child and family in our area feels empowered and uplifted during challenging times. We believe in the power of community and compassion to make a meaningful difference.
Our Mission
1. We bring our community together... through free, family-friendly events and projects that uplift children and families, especially those facing significant health challenges.
2. We provide support to children in crisis...
and their families by fundraising for care packages, comfort items, and grants that bring hope during difficult times.
3. We promote healthy living...
by offering educational programming and advocacy around clean water, air, and food so families can thrive in a safe and sustainable environment.
