How to Donate to UCare
Donations
U Care, Inc. is a private non-profit organization that relies on government grants and "matched funds" of financial donations from concerned citizens to remain operational. Unfortunately, government grants, by themselves, do not cover the entire operational expenses for the shelter and all of the programs we provide.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. All financial and material donations are greatly appreciated and are used directly to assisting our clients. The financial donations assist our clients who stay in the shelter with food, medical services, transportation, and other, sometimes unexpected, expenses.
Many times our clients have to leave a situation so quickly that they cannot go back to their homes to retrieve their personal belongings. Rather than stay in a violent situation, the choice they have to make is between material possessions and their lives. Once the clients are ready to move on, they need the eventual material essentials to set up a new house like rent, utilities, heat, furniture, bedding, appliances, household goods, linens, clothing, food, dishes, etc., etc. Your donations are used to DIRECTLY assist our clients in their endeavor to start a new life.
With most any type of donation, your donation is tax deductible. With all donations you will receive an "in-kind" receipt that you can apply to your income tax statement for deduction.
