Many events are conducted by UCF - An annual free health fair in the early summer for the Uninsured provides a wide variety of regular and specialized care to the community members and has a large participation from the healthcare community and community based organizations. Back to school drives in partnership with the Government of Clark County, toy drive in partnership with the Fire fighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation , book drives, thanksgiving luncheons & drives at underserved schools, are just some of the many events UCF hosts throughout the year. We also sponsor families during the holidays by providing for the necessities, particularly those with children in the households during the holidays.
As our organization grows we will continue developing new programs to serve the community and individuals in need living in our area. Our back to school drive, sundries drive, toy drives, sponsorship of families programs provide children and struggling families the resources they need to succeed. We are currently working on a Mentoring Program – An after school program, dedicated to helping children with their homework as well as providing them with positive role models in their lives. Our intent is to help the over 5,000 homeless students in the Clark County area.
