UCCA Mission


UCCA provides food, referrals, and services to Elmhurst District 205’s most financially disadvantaged children and their families in an effort to fight hunger.

Ours is a “neighbors helping neighbors” approach, driven by volunteers and powered by a generous community and dedicated partners.
