Wish List
UCP's Wish List
If you would prefer to donate something other than cash, then you might like to help out with a specific item (or several items!) on our wish list. We are grateful for all donations, but especially welcome any items that allow us to help increase our clients' cognitive and fine/gross motor skills.
UCP thanks you in advance for your kindness in helping us to keep our overhead costs low so that we may focus on providing the quality programs and
