The Sharehouse Basic Needs Center: 
UCFS’ Sharehouse Basic Needs Center collects and distributes new and gently-used items to families and individuals in need such as furniture, kitchenware, clothing, personal care items, cleaning supplies, car seats, diapers, other baby essentials, and much more. These items are purchased from our Sharehouse Wishlist by generous donors, collected in basic needs drives hosted by individuals and community organizations, donated by supporters, and purchased with program funding. In 2024, UCFS distributed 71,724 items. Furniture is delivered to alleviate the barrier or transportation, and this is all provided at no cost to the client.

Maternal Health Education
UCFS’ Maternal Health Education Program provides linguistically accessible and culturally competent information and resources to prospective, soon-to-be, and new mothers. Programming includes interactive educational workshops on topics such as pre- and post-partum health and nutrition, labor and delivery prep and planning, breastfeeding and lactation, sleep training, early childhood develop- ment and milestones, and even CPR and Lamaze classes.

The mothers are also supported with diapers, wipes, and formula throughout the program, which ends with a group baby shower with games, refreshments, raffle prizes, and gifts like car seats, strollers, and other baby essentials.
