This month we were honored to support Eastside Uplift — a grassroots program in Baltimore dedicated to helping families meet their most basic needs. From food and groceries to utility payments and transportation assistance Eastside Uplift is filling the gap with compassion and action.

Started just last summer by Arnetta and Kenneth Shelton Eastside Uplift was born from personal experience. The founders understand what it means to struggle — having experienced homelessness and utility shut-offs firsthand. That is why they are committed to showing up for others with no strings attached.

They work through a growing referral network across the city and often deliver food and essentials directly to families in need. Their impact is powerful and the gratitude they receive at each doorstep says it all.

To help support their mission Easterns Automotive Group presented a $2200 donation during a live broadcast of FOX45 Morning News. It is just one way we can say thank you and help carry the vision forward.

Thank you to the Eastside Uplift team for being the kind of leaders every community needs. We are proud to be a part of your story.
