The UCP RESPITALITY Program <strong>of</strong>fers parents <strong>of</strong> children with special<br />
needs the opportunity to get away for a relaxing weekend. Parents are<br />
given the gift <strong>of</strong> free weekend accommodations at one <strong>of</strong> our local partner<br />
hotels, while a qualified UCP Care Provider takes care <strong>of</strong> the children in<br />
their own home at no cost to the family. A UCP RESPITALITY weekend<br />
gives couples and single parents a chance to get away and have a much<br />
needed break. Since it’s inception in 1989, the program has been<br />
supported by 18-20 hotels in <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> and Ventura Counties each year,<br />
enabling UCP to serve 70 families annually.<br />
“We cannot thank you enough for the generosity and<br />
continued support <strong>of</strong> the UCP RESPITALITY Program, it<br />
is a huge gift for our family and we sincerely appreciate<br />
the opportunity to be a part <strong>of</strong> it.”<br />
