Testimonials

“BBA has volunteered many times in 2024 at UP Orlando and it has always been an incredibly rewarding experience that allowed our team to connect with the community in a meaningful way. Whether it was at UP Market, assisting to organizing UP events or participating of the Quack Attack fund raise run, we truly gained a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment. It is so inspiring to see the impact UP has in the community and that our small actions can have on others, and it’s an experience me and BBA team we will always cherish, and hope will last for a long time.”

~Luiz Pisanelli, VP CRA Services & Small Business Lending Officer at BB Americas Bank

Natasha moved to Orlando seeking new opportunities after being diagnosed with Lupus while five months pregnant with her son, who was later diagnosed with ADHD and Autism.  Despite her efforts, she struggled to find stable employment until she joined UP Orlando’s Success Training Employment Program (STEP).  After STEP, Natasha continued to work with an UP Orlando Success Coach and has recently started working at Omaha Steaks as a Remote Sales Specialist and Brand Ambassador and is well on her way to economic self-sufficiency.

“Volunteering at UP Orlando was such a meaningful experience for our team. It was even more special as we celebrated reaching 100,000 volunteer hours as an organization alongside rookie, Tristan Da Silva. From sorting and stocking the Member Grocery Center to seeing firsthand the impact of UP’s mission, we left feeling inspired and grateful to be part of something bigger than ourselves. The staff made us feel so welcome, and it was incredible to work together in a way that truly benefits the community. We can’t wait to come back!”
