Looking for a fresh start? 🌟

This month, 14 community members attended a STEP Orientation to learn how they can build new skills, gain confidence, and take steps toward meaningful employment.

Whether you're searching for a job, exploring a new career path, or ready to invest in yourself, the Success Training Employment Program (STEP) is designed to help you move forward with the tools, training, and support you need to succeed. 💙

We're thinking about offering STEP Orientations every week to make it easier for more people to get started. Would that be helpful for you or someone you know? Let us know in the comments! 👇

For many families, making ends meet means carefully balancing the cost of groceries with rent, utilities, transportation, and other everyday expenses. Through our Member Share Grocery Program, individuals and families throughout Central Florida can access quality food and household essentials while keeping more resources available for other necessities.

Whether you're feeding a growing family, caring for loved ones, or simply looking for ways to stretch your budget a little further, we're here to help. Our campus is open 7 days a week because everyone deserves access to nutritious food and the support they need to thrive.

If you or someone you know could benefit from additional support, learn more about our free membership program and qualifications at uporlando.org.

🛒 Groceries cost more. Rent costs more. Utilities cost more.

For many families in our community, stretching a paycheck has never been harder.

That's why 's Member Share Grocery Program exists: to help neighbors access nutritious food and household essentials while preserving choice, dignity, and hope.

Every cart you see in this video represents a family working hard to make ends meet. Every item selected means more room in the budget for rent, utilities, transportation, and other necessities.

And it happens because this community shows UP.

As part of our Summer Match Campaign, every donation made through July 31 will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact for local families.

🎓 Because this community shows UP, graduates are stepping into new careers and new stability.

Today, we celebrate the graduates of our 74th STEP cohort and all they have accomplished. One graduate shared:

💬 "The STEP Program has encouraged me to reach my goals and to reach higher beyond my circumstances."

To everyone who volunteered, attended graduation, cheered our students on, invested in this program, and to the staff who pour their hearts into helping each participant succeed—thank you. These moments are possible because of you.
