Host a Wish List Drive
Most people would like to help, but are unsure of how to go about it or they do not have the time to research the needs in our community. By organizing a wish list drive, you are meeting your group’s need to reach out to others and saving them time in the process.
You are also meeting a great need at UCP. By helping us keep our classrooms, therapy sessions and offices stocked with supplies, you are helping free up funds that can be used for financial assistance for therapy treatments and summer education, and helping improve our quality of care.
Items Needed
Gifts of supplies and materials are always welcome at all UCP of Central Florida Centers. Some of the items we always need include:
- Toys 'R' Us gift cards to purchase toys for classrooms.
- Gift Cards from Office Depot, Home Depot, or any grocery store
- Washable markers, construction paper, glue sticks, round-tip scissors
- Freestanding, full-length mirrors and wall mirrors (shatterproof)
- Batteries: AA, AAA, C, D, and 9 volt
- Copy paper, white and colors
- Electronic toys that light up
- Polaroid cameras and film
- Washcloths and bibs
- Latex-free gloves
- Crib sheets
- Tricycles
