You're Invited To...
UGK Community First is excited to invite you to a powerful celebration of Juneteenth on June 19th! This special event, led by UGK Culinary Director Steve Glenn and The Underground Kitchen, will transform our garden and outdoor spaces into a vibrant culinary experience. Guests will enjoy a fusion of wine and spirit tastings paired with rich, narrative-driven dishes that honor Black history and liberation.​
This gathering is more than a celebration—it's a commitment to our mission. Proceeds will directly support our food initiatives, including the expansion of Smart Soul Food across the city, the launch of a new healthy food pantry in 2025, and the overall sustainability of our other programs like From Scratch and Future Foodies. These initiatives provide nutritious, scratch-made meals and essential food relief to communities in need. With the generous backing of our local sponsors, the UGK-CF Juneteenth celebration will kick off the summer with a message of unity, impact, and the transformative power of good food. Join us in celebrating and making a lasting difference!
