DONATE

To address the needs of a community, it takes many hearts and minds working together. Thank you for considering your neighbors in need through volunteering or donating!

UCOM is open Monday through Thursday 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. We ask that you bring donations during these hours when we have volunteers available to accept and shelve the items.

COVID-19 DONATION INFORMATION

Due to COVID regulations, we are accepting donations outside in the parking area of the UCOM center. Donations can be dropped off with minimal contact. Our volunteer staff will come to your car OR donations can be left on a receiving table outside of the building.
