COVID-19 Community Update
January 14, 2021
Due to the Governor’s stay-at-home order in December, we are currently back to providing remote, Alternative Services to all consumers in the Adult Day Programs. Staff are providing zoom classes 5 days a week, in a variety of subjects which have been developed from ideas and interests of the consumers we serve. 
Craft/activity packages are delivered twice a month and a Youtube site is up and running with instructions on how to complete the activities. UCP Offices in both North County and San Diego are sharing resources on all classes available.
Your support makes all of this possible, offering a Life Without Limits for thousands in San Diego County.
Our Thrift Stores remain open with safety protocols recommended by local and state authorities. The stores are open from 10:00am to 5:00pm, 7 days a week.
Please remember that shopping with us supports vital services for our friends and neighbors with disabilities and their families across San Diego County.
Please check back for updates.

New Van Provides More Independence
A grant was approved from Las Patronas for UCP to purchase a 
gently used wheelchair accessible van. Together with a most generous donation from Mr. & Mrs. R. Jefferies, it enabled us to purchase a 2016 Dodge Caravan Conversion. We can now get our participants out and further afield in the community.
For many of the participants in the North County ADC (Adult Developmental Center) Program, this is the only means of socialization, education, vocational and community integration stimulation they get. It has already enabled us to get them to the San Diego Fair four times this summer, something many of the individuals would not have been able to do.
Thank you to Las Patronas and to Mr. & Mrs. Jefferies!
