United Against Poverty Orlando can now serve more families in need

UP Orlando will install a brand-new freezer and cooler at its grocery shopping center to help more Central Florida families in need.

The brand-new freezers and coolers mean families can now buy chicken, meats, and dairy products. UP Orlando lost its outdated coolers and freezers during Hurricane Ian, which could not be repaired.

UP Orlando said that many families would opt out of going to a traditional grocery store for cold foods to pay housing, utilities, and other bills.
