This Thanksgiving, while you give thanks for food, friends, and family, don’t forget those who have little to be thankful for…

Thanksgiving is a time for sharing, caring, family, and, well, food. Unfortunately, there are many people in our community who won’t spend Thanksgiving surrounded by food, family and friends. Many of them are homeless, needy and otherwise destitute. We know you care about needy families in University City as much as we do.

The University City Hospitality Coalition (UCHC) has been serving University City’s homeless and needy for THIRTY-FIVE YEARS and is an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Four evenings a week, 52 weeks a year, the UCHC provides hot meals to our homeless and needy neighbors, as well as bag lunches on Saturdays and an additional Sunday meal during the school year. We also provide a medical clinic, a legal clinic, dental assistance, a mailing address, and referrals to shelters, job placement, and other services.

Please help us help families in need this Thanksgiving… Through the faculty, students and families of the Penn Alexander School, we will, for the EIGHTEENTH year, be collecting canned fruits and vegetables for our meals. We need your help to continue feeding poor and homeless families in University City. Because of the number of people we serve, we prefer “commercial” size cans, #10 (≈7 lb.) or #3 (≈3 lb.), of common fruits and vegetables (e.g., fruit salad, sweet potatoes, green beans, corn). Bottles of BBQ sauce and pancake syrup are also appreciated. Thank you for your continuing support.

Your giving doesn’t have to end here…

Here are five other ways you can give of your time and resources to UCHC:

1. Tell a person in need about UCHC. Handouts are attached to pass on to anyone you think could use a meal. 2. Volunteer at a meal site. Groups of 2-3 are welcome 5:00-7:00 PM, especially over school holidays. 3. Use this form to send us a tax-deductible monetary gift. Because UCHC is an all-volunteer organization, 100%

of your gift will be used to help our needy clients. Please make checks payable to UCHC. 4. Join our mailing list, using this form. 5. Donate to UCHC through United Way. If your company has a United Way program, you can designate your

donation to UCHC. Our United Way number is 09178.
