At LifeMoves, we believe that everyone has the power to unlock hope and change lives. That’s why our monthly donors are called KeyGivers – because they hold the key to creating lasting transformations for those facing homelessness and adversity.

To access and edit your recurring donation yourself, log into your monthly donor Classy account. If you haven’t logged in to Classy before, create a login by using the same email address that is associated with your recurring donation.
