Dear Friend, 
Our community continues to amaze and inspire me with its generosity. Just this past weekend, more than 70 volunteers from age 6 to age 60+ gathered at UCM's main office to sort the more than 14,000 pounds of food that community members donated through the Boys Scout's Annual Food Drive. Boxes are piled nearly to the ceiling in our large conference room, filled with food for our neighbors in need. To see our community come out in such a force to feed the hungry is simply wonderful! With Thanksgiving less than a week away, we are distributing holiday food to our program participants. Their joyful smiles, and excited thank you's to our food pantry manager, Jose, when they receive a turkey and other holiday food can be heard and felt around the building. It reminds me of how thankful I am to work for an agency that helps so many people in so many ways-and we are able to do this work only because of the caring support of people like you. Thank you so much for all that you do.
Happy Thanksgiving, 
Cynthia N. Hull Executive Director |
