About Los Altos UMC Changemaker Initiative
The Los Altos UMC Changemaker Initiative is an innovative program focused on fostering positive change within our community. With a deep commitment to serving others, our initiative aims to address critical social issues and make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals.
Partnership with Lily Foundation
We are delighted to have received a substantial grant of 1.5 million dollars from the Lily Foundation, a renowned organization dedicated to providing support and resources to transformative projects. This partnership will empower us to implement our "Change the Story" project, which seeks to address local challenges and create lasting change.
Change the Story Project
The "Change the Story" project aims to bring together individuals and organizations passionate about making a difference in our community. Our comprehensive approach focuses on tackling critical issues such as homelessness, education, and access to healthcare.
Homelessness
Through "Change the Story," we are actively working towards reducing homelessness in our community. We collaborate with local shelters and organizations to provide safe housing, support services, and resources to individuals experiencing homelessness. By addressing the root causes of homelessness and offering avenues for support, we strive to create lasting change and improve the lives of those affected.
Education
Educational equity is a fundamental aspect of our "Change the Story" project. We believe that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Through partnerships with schools, tutors, and mentors, we offer academic support, scholarships, and educational resources to underserved students. By investing in their futures, we empower them to overcome barriers and achieve their full potential.
Healthcare
Improving access to healthcare is crucial for building a healthier community. The "Change the Story" project advocates for affordable and inclusive healthcare solutions. We collaborate with healthcare providers, community clinics, and advocacy groups to ensure that everyone has access to essential healthcare services. By addressing healthcare disparities, we hope to improve the well-being and quality of life for all community members.
Community and Society - Faith and Beliefs
As a faith-based organization, Los Altos UMC Changemaker Initiative draws inspiration from our core beliefs. Our mission is deeply rooted in promoting love, compassion, and justice within our community. We seek to create an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds can come together, united by faith, to make a positive difference.

Volunteer your time, contribute resources, or support our initiatives through donations. Together, we can create sustainable change and build a stronger, more vibrant community.
