    Hello Since launching on February 28, 2026, we have already served 250+ individuals in our community. Just last night, we served 52 people in the rain- and we remain committed to showing up, no matter the conditions. Only Way Is Up (OWIU) Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving unhoused and underserved individuals in our community through outreach, hot meals, and real human connection. We don’t just provide food- we build trust, create connection, and remind people they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. Our team goes out into the community- often during evening hours when support is limited- to provide hot meals, essential items, and meaningful interaction. Every donation goes directly toward: Hot meals for outreach Hygiene supplies Essential resources for those in need Based on our current cost $3.60 helps provide one meal. $10- helps provide 2-3 meals $25- helps provide 6-7 meals $50- helps provide 13-14 meals Every dollar makes a difference. The need in our community is real- and it doesn’t stop when the weather changes or the sun goes down. We are committed to doing this work but we can’t do it alone. Your support allows us to keep showing up, reaching more people, and making a lasting impact. If you feel moved to support this mission, we invite you to be a part of what we’re building. Together we serve more meals, reach more people, and continue creating moments that matter. Only Way Is Up
