UPLANDERS CLUB CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION (ucco)

         Our Charity-of-Choice for 2025-2026 is “SAMARITAN COUNSELING

                                     CENTER” located in Upland California

Samaritan Counseling Center recently marked over 51 years of transforming the lives of children and families in Upland and the surrounding communities.  Their mission is to provide faith sensitive psychological and educational services that facilitate healing, hope and forgiveness.  Their purpose is to help people overcome issues that hinder personal growth, aid in healing the wounds that limit one’s ability to thrive, be whole and fulfill their potential.

Their high-quality services are guided by the “Samaritan model” of whole person healing that involves mind, body, spirit and community.  Through their outpatient counseling program, they deliver evidence based and trauma-informed counseling to children, adults and families.  Additionally, BEAMS (behavior, education and management services) program provides in-home and Telehealth behavior intervention, parent training and support for families of children facing developmental challenges associated with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, epilepsy, intellectual disabilities and other important diagnoses.

As you can see, this is a very worthwhile charity, and we hope you all will be generous in supporting Samaritan Counseling Center as we move forward in our fundraising endeavors.
