This nonprofit community service center in North Park is all-volunteer run.  Its mission is to help homeless and needy people to live in dignity and to become self-supporting members of our community. It is open from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.  UPTOWN provides services to over 1,700 homeless and very-low income persons per month through providing a mailing address, taking messages, giving information and referrals, emergency food distribution, hygiene kits, clothing, providing computer/internet access and help obtaining California IDs.  Our clients include homeless people and others who are struggling to make ends meet and keep from becoming homeless.  They are a mixture of races and ages, ranging from 17 to 82.  Over half of them have disabilities.  The Service Center is supported by a group of community churches of several denominations, the profits from a thrift shop, Upscale Resale and contributions from individual donors.  Learn more!
