Need a helping hand for the holidays?
Or are you fortunate to have enough to share?
UCI Staff Assembly’s Community Relations Committee is sponsoring the annual UCI Staff Holiday Helping Hands Program. The program provides an opportunity for members of the UCI community to lend a helping hand during the holidays to UCI staff members who are experiencing difficulty providing a holiday experience for their families. This confidential program will match staff who need assistance anonymously with those able to help.
Things will be a little different this year in an effort to keep everyone safe but the giving spirit of things will not be lost. All holiday donations will be in the form of gift cards. More information will come once you are matched with a family or sponsor.
We ask that you complete the appropriate form no later than November 23, 2020. Applicants submitting for assistance must hold a current staff position during the program duration.

Thank you to everyone who was able to support the Helping Hands Program this past 2020 holiday season. With your generosity, we were able to put smiles on the faces of 109 of our fellow staff in need!
