Summer sees a spike in food insecurity
Summer vacation for children often means a break from the school cafeteria as well. For families in need, food programs like those at Unity House can be a life line. Please, consider a gift to our food pantry and meals program to help address food insecurity.
Summer Fun for Kids!

Thanks to many helping hands, our summer programming for children is off to a great start. If you'd like to help, please consider an item from our Wish List.

ReStyle at the Ready! Did you the Unity House store has standardized pricing? And anyone who can't afford the nominal fees can get a voucher so they have the dignity of picking out exactly what they need and can use.

A reminder that if you would like to donate clothes, shoes or accessories, it helps if they are in-season. Please ensure items are ready to wear, free of any stains, rips or in need of minor repairs.
Help is always available in cases of dating abuse or domestic violence. You can call our 24 hour hotline, use webchat, or text to speak with an advocate.

we are a community organization committed to
serving and empowering people in need.
