The UCP (Universidade da Cidade de Pedro Juan Caballero) and the Inter-American University engage in a monthly initiative to donate food to low-income families. This charitable action is made possible through the contributions of non-perishable food items collected from university students, who in return receive discounts on their tuition fees for timely payments. This system has been in place for several years, reflecting a commitment to both educational support and community welfare.

Carlos Bernardo, the CEO of UCP/Interamericana, emphasizes the dual benefits of this initiative, highlighting its impact on both students and the families in need. The food baskets are prepared from the donations received, ensuring that the process not only aids struggling families but also fosters a spirit of solidarity among the student body. The initiative reaches out to hundreds of families each month, with most benefiting from prior registrations with local institutions, ensuring targeted and effective support.

In times of economic difficulty, these donations become crucial for families who seek assistance, reaffirming the university's humanitarial commitment. This effort to alleviate challenges faced by low-income households not only supports families but also instills values of community service and empathy within the student community, promoting a culture of giving back.
