Who We Are
Founded in 2015, UA3 is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization committed to driving lasting change in underserved communities.
Our journey began with a food pantry dedicated to combating food insecurity, and since then, we have expanded our mission to enhance socio-economic opportunities, empower youth, promote education, and advocate for health and mental well-being.
Through strong partnerships with public and private sectors, educational institutions, and community organizations, UA3 continues to channel essential resources to uplift those in need and create a more equitable future.
