Hosting a Food Drive
Your food donation is important to UCM.
Whether you are an individual donating a bag or two of food or you are coordinating a large Food Drive for UCM, please know that your donation is needed and will help families right here in our community. Much of the food we distribute is donated to us. Your donation helps us keep our food budget low, at the same time providing families with a wide variety of foods.
