Taste of the Town: Taste of the Town: Dining for a Cause

5/29/2021

Due to COVID restrictions, UCCA was not able to hold its annual fundraising event at Wilder Mansion this year. Instead, we asked Elmhurst establishments to each hold an “eat and earn” one day during the month of May to benefit UCCA. The event was a great success, raising almost $7,000, which was used to provide Mobile Food Pantries through the summer and fall months to Elmhurst District 205 children and their families experiencing difficult times.

2020 Virtual Holiday Food Drive

12/5/2020

UCCA’s Annual Holiday Food Drive had to look a little different this year because of Covid-19 restrictions.  Even though we were unable to collect food from outside organizations, the community really stepped up and donated money so families would receive larger gift cards than normal, as well as their boxed Holiday Dinner.  Roberto’s Ristorante allowed UCCA to use some of their empty space since the City Garage was unavailable.  It was a true Community Food Drive!
