Testimonials

“At TD Bank, the sense of community responsibility is encouraged and reinforced within the TD culture. When I was introduced to United Against Poverty in Orlando, FL, I observed their impact and knew their mission aligned with ours. From working parents to fixed income seniors, a lot of people rely on UAP as they grapple with making ends meet. UAP also offers a program to prepare for job readiness and placement. Our Florida TD Auto Finance Team volunteered at United Against Poverty for a day. We sorted food donations and stocked shelves in the Member Share Grocery, which supports low-income families and individuals. It was an uplifting experience to be a part of making their mission possible.”

“The work they do at United Against Poverty Orlando is truly commendable. Volunteering with them has been a truly fulfilling experience for our team as it has provided Westgate volunteers with meaningful opportunities to make a tangible difference in the lives of local community members. By working directly with UP Orlando, our Westgate volunteers gained insight into the challenges faced by individuals striving for financial stability, and the critical role community support can play in overcoming these barriers. Organizing groceries, setting up the clothing closet, conducting mock interviews, and participating in the Workforce Development Forum allowed our volunteers to build valuable skills in teamwork, leadership, and community engagement. These experiences fostered a deep sense of connection, empathy, and accomplishment among volunteers, as they saw firsthand the impact of their efforts on families in need. We also gained knowledge of critical resources and can share with our friends and family who may be in need of assistance.”

“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.”
