Below is information about Virtual Food Drives for UCM:

Want to help, but too busy to shop or get a food drive organized?  A monetary gift to UCM, designated for "Food Pantry," can provide heart-healthy, fresh foods for local families who are struggling to make ends meet. Encourage your friends and colleagues to join you ... and we call that a "Virtual Food Drive."

Can you imagine how you would feel if you had worked all week ... and still couldn't afford to feed your family?  More than 500 local families visit UCM's Food Pantry every week, about 80-100 each day.

Thanks to our deep discounts with our partner agencies, we can stretch your donated dollars a whole lot further, so the families that turn to us have enough to eat. 

Click here to donate online now via credit card or check -- and designate "Food Pantry."  Thanks for caring!
