UFLP Helps Organization Provide Meals to Local Children

The ACA member company’s staff and their families decorated lunch bags for Lunches of Love, an organization delivering meals during extended school breaks in the Houston community.

The staff at Houston-based ACA member company Universal Fidelity LP is committed to volunteering in their local community, most recently for the organization Lunches of Love.

The organization started in 2009 with a mission to feed more than 150 children during the holidays when they were on break from school. Lunches of Love became a nonprofit organization in 2012 and now regularly provides lunches to more than 4,000 children, according to its website.

Volunteers help the organization by decorating bags and assembling lunches to deliver to children in the community during extended school holidays.

Universal Fidelity LP recently decorated more than 300 bags for the children’s lunches.  The decorations on the bags ranged from inspirational quotes to fun cartoon characters.

“It was great to see the amount of participation throughout the company,” said Roger Gilanyi, marketing executive at Universal Fidelity LP. “The staff even involved their children and grandchildren by taking bags home so they could decorate and participate in our mission to volunteer. It was great fun to have the opportunity to work with such a great organization and live their mission.”

Recovering from Hurricane Harvey

Jessica Hearn from Universal Fidelity LP in Houston recalls the before and after of Hurricane Harvey and the outpouring of community support among residents and businesses.

In the weeks since Hurricane Harvey, business and homeowners are still recovering from the storm that caused record rainfall and significant damage in many areas of Texas and Louisiana.

Universal Fidelity LP moved into its new headquarters in Houston a year ago in July. It used its remote location designated in its disaster recovery plan during the storm, said CFO and Compliance Director Jessica Hearn.

“We started watching the storm at the beginning of the week [in August],” Hearn said. “We started preparing at that time as if the storm was going to make an impact as the meteorologists were suggesting. The hurricane projection was not the news we wanted, but to add that high pressure was going to have it sit over Houston for days was even worse.”
