UCCA:  Strengthening our community by ending hunger since 1987   
​▼

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.
$ DONATED IN 2022
FAMILIES
SENIORS
  • ​This past year, UCCA distributed $191,177 in food and gift certificates to almost 275 families.​
  • Distributed $7,935 in food certificates to 81 seniors residing at Greencastle of Elmhurst.​
  • Distributed more than 1,300 food boxes, weighing approximately 9 tons and valued at over $40,000 to our families at the holidays.
  • Hosted eight Mobile Food Pantries.
  • 97% of the funds that we raise go directly toward food items and food certificates for the families.
This would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers, our generous partners, and our caring community.

  • ​Volunteer
    UCCA is a 100% volunteer driven organization. At certain times of the year we need extra help with our Mobile Food Pantries and Annual Food Drive!

Thank you!!!!


UCCA has wrapped up its 44th annual holiday food drive! We currently provide support for 278 families in Elmhurst District 205. Our neighbors helping neighbors approach means we can not serve those in need without the volunteers and donors in our community.
