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. Your contributions are highly valued and essential to the ongoing success of our mission.

SENIORS
  • ​Last year UCCA provided more than $150,000 in food gift cards to 380 families.​
  • Distributed $4,860 in food gift cards to senior citizens at Greencastle of Elmhurst.​
  • Distributed more than 1,500 food boxes weighing approximately 18 tons.
  • Hosted 9 Mobile Food Pantries serving 1,552 families with 6,013 family members, of which 2,810 were children.
  • 97% of the funds that we raise go directly toward food items and food gift cards for the families.
This would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers, our generous partners, and our caring community.
