I am a parent volunteer, actually the family to family support coordinator. We have helped several families by providing resources, information, and referrals. We have also provided clothing, food, and help get a ramp built for a family. Our program started about 2 months ago but has accomplished alot in that small amount of time. I personally found out about UCPWA when I went seeking help for my own daughters. Both have disabilities. I feel like all the people who work and volunteer their time at UCPWA are family.
