UCCA is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization that has provided food to D205’s children and their families in need for 42 years. Last year UCCA provided over $146,000 in food to 237 families as it strived to strengthen our community by working to end hunger. This year, as the pandemic continues, UCCA has provided monthly food relief to more than 300 families struggling with food insecurity.
UCCA is asking the community to join us in a Neighbors helping Neighbors approach that will allow us to continue to provide food relief to our neighbors in need. To support its work, please participate in the Taste of the Town event, or donate online at ucca-elmhurst.org or by check to UCCA,125 W Church St, Elmhurst.
