Experiencing hunger very early in life can reduce a person’s ability to learn. Help us fight childhood hunger by supplying UCP campuses across Central Florida with nutritious food items that can be added to our take home bags for those in need.
We understand that many of our students rely on school meals to stay nourished. By providing take home food bags for the upcoming Thanksgiving and winter breaks, UCP children are given the opportunity to have healthy, filling meals during their time away from school; helping families make ends meet.
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

The money raised will be used to purchase food to fill the bags.

WHAT IS FOOD INSECURITY
Food insecurity refers to USDA’s measure of lack of access to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members and limited availability of nutritionally adequate foods. The National Average of US households facing food insecurity is 13%. 1 in 5 kids is at risk of going to bed hungry tonight.
Our UCP Charter schools play an important role in helping to reduce this number. For many of our kids, school meals may be the only meals they eat each day. What happens when students go home over the weekend, or for a week-long school break?

All 8-campuses are seeking volunteers, as many hands make light work! Inquire for more details.
Give the Gift of Food
As funds are collected, we will partner with other local business and nonprofits to leverage the best possible buying power. However, the donation of food is equally helpful!
