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!

UCP Honors Zimmerman, Gaspar
UCP San Diego was proud to honor Shelley Zimmerman (Retired Chief, 
San Diego Police Department) and Kristin Gaspar (Third District, San Diego County Board of Supervisors) at our annual "Life Without Limits" Awards, for their professional success and the work they have done to make our community a better place and improve the lives of people with disabilities.
The fast-paced program, hosted by KUSI-TV News Anchor Lauren Phinney, included testimonials to the honorees from those in the San Diego business and philanthropic community and a live auction of art, sports, travel and collectors items.
Following the event, Gaspar said, "I’m honored and humbled to be recognized by UCP San Diego with the “Life Without Limits” award. Poway Mayor Steve Vaus and James Floros, CEO of the San Diego Food Bank, thank you for the kind words. I appreciate your support."
"I am very honored," said Zimmerman. "Every day I am reminded our life’s journey is really about the people who touch us and life is not a solo adventure. We all must share in the responsibility to help others to live a life without limits."
UCP is grateful to event sponsors DLM Properties, Whitaker Investment Corporation, and Chicago Title and all the people and businesses that supported and attended the event, which raised nearly $100,000 for UCP's programs and services.
