Mission: Mobilizing the power of our community to break the cycle of poverty

You have something to give, and trust me, it is One Simple Thing that can profoundly change someone’s world. Whether through your time or financial support, your kindness brings hope and healing. 

What is your One Simple Thing this holiday season? My HOPE is that you feel inspired –- whether it is giving monetarily to the UWCC mission, volunteering your time, or simply reflecting on your own wish for the season.
