A brief history
Since 1969, UCOM has been a beacon of hope and support in southwest Kent County. What began with a small food pantry in the basement of Smith Memorial Congregational United Church of Christ has grown into a vital and vibrant community resource.
Guided by the vision and needs of our community, and fueled by the generosity of local churches and donors, UCOM has evolved through the years to meet the changing needs of our neighbors.
From our early outreach efforts to our current focus on health and wellness, UCOM remains committed to empowering individuals and strengthening our community.
