What is the Lumber Industry Fund for Today?
LIFT is an industry-specific fund and member benefit established by the NRLA through its Lumber and Building Material Dealers Foundation (LBMDF) to provide immediate financial assistance and peer support to NRLA member employees impacted by a fire or natural disaster resulting in a loss of shelter.
