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 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.
