Other UFC Events
Holiday parties, youth retreats, film premieres and more.
UFC benefits from movie premieres, boutique shopping events, and a variety of other occasions by partnering with companies committed to giving back.
Events for our youth held throughout the year are essential to UFC’s philosophy of working with foster youth to develop familial and communal bonds among each other, UFC staff, and our community as a whole.
Past Events
Pathways Spring Planting and BBQ
On Saturday, March 24 volunteers, board and community members gathered at Pathways in Whittier to plant for spring. Working with our Pathways residents, volunteers dug, cleared and planted blueberries, cucumbers and squash, as well as flowers and low-maintenance shrubs. The day included garden crafts, tours, and a delicious Greek-themed BBQ lunch prepared by celebrity chefs Jewels and Jill Elmore and our youth. Thanks to everyone who participated in this great day!
