Help Fight Childhood Hunger
At UCP of Central Florida, we believe every child deserves to learn, grow, and thrive, not worry about their next meal. Many of our students rely on school meals to stay nourished, and school breaks can be especially hard for families.
You can help by supporting our Food Pantry Program and filling Take Home Food Bags for UCP students this Thanksgiving and winter break. Together, we can make sure no child goes hungry.

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?
