The homeless women and children at this shelter, some who land here trying to escape domestic abuse, don’t just have material needs. Understanding this, the staff at UER provides tutoring to residents.

As an ardent supporter of the ALA’s work, UER is both an event sponsor and a Clean Air Awards winner.
