UPlift Greater Baltimore is the volunteer arm of the GBCC and liaison between businesses and nonprofits. Borne from the need to insure that Greater Baltimore and, specifically, Pikesville—a commercial revitalization district—receives the resources required to be a place where people come together to live, work, and play. This work, which began with Pick Up Pikesville, a monthly community clean up in Pikesville, cannot and will not thrive without essential nonprofit and commercial partnerships, private and public stakeholders, and volunteers willing to help make a difference. In order for Greater Baltimore to be the place where people want to play and prosper, we must work together. And so, UPlift Greater Baltimore was created.
What are our goals for our community, in terms of economic growth, educational wealth, environmental vitality, and social well-being? The depth and breadth of the question raises another question: how can our community join collectively to ensure a greater public education for our children, a greater and more prosperous business community, and greater and more comfortable lives for our residents?
The Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce works closely with our elected officials, public school leaders, nonprofits, as well as county and state government to improve our community. UPlift GB calls on our institutions, businesses, and the public to partner, collaborate, and rally together to build a Greater Baltimore. Let’s revitalize Pikesville. Let’s address the littering issue in our community at large. Let’s beautify Reisterstown all the way to Northwest Baltimore on the county/city line. We can only do this with volunteers. Join UPlift Greater Baltimore to participate in programs like Pick Up Pikesville; volunteer in our local schools; serve on chamber strategic action committees.
Lastly, UPlift GB acts as a liaison for businesses that want to partner with nonprofits to provide meals, warm clothing, and resources for our school children.
