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 2021
FAMILIES
SENIORS
  • ​This past year, UCCA provided $138,642 in food and food gift certificates to 305 families and 81 seniors in our Elmhurst community
  • During last year's Holiday Food Drive UCCA distributed more than 600 boxes of food, weighing 7 tons, valued at over $18,000 to our families
  • In addition, UCCA sent 3 COVID-19 mailings of food gift cards, totaling $37,000, to District 205 families.
This would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers, our generous partners, and our caring community.

How You Can Help
​

  • Support Our Fundraisers! ​​
Several events are held annually to help fund our hunger relief programs. You can help by attending the upcoming events to benefit UCCA. 
​​
  • Donate Funds, Supplies or Food  
Over 98% of all funds collected go to feed those in need, or you can donate wish list supplies, food, and other staples at any of the Elmhurst locations. We also provide Holiday Meal Boxes and gift cards!

  • ​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!!!

A huge thank you to all of those who donated for our holiday food drive and for those who volunteered to sort, pack and deliver all of the food.

We had 130 volunteers who helped pack 1,233 boxes of food.
We couldn't have done it without you!​
