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.”

“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

I was pretty much on the edge of homelessness, I’m grateful to get into a few programs here that helped me, and my family get into a living situation recently. We needed food and groceries, so we ended up walking over a mile to get to the UP Orlando Center.  We were able to get so much food at their Member Share Grocery Program so that was a big, big, life changer for us.  I enrolled into their Success Training Employment Program; it encouraged me to stay self-motivated and to have the drive to keep going forward no what I was going through. 

Upon completion of the STEP Program, Graylin has secured employment as a Manger at a local restaurant and is on his way to economic self-sufficiency.
