Our Mission

Unity in Community is an inter-racial, inter-denominational and diverse service organization whose goal is to support individuals and families in need.

Our community based outreach ministry began November, 2007 by our founder, Delores Green. It has grown from a handful of people with no funds to a group of forty plus members with an annual budget of about $35,000.

Governance of UIC operations is provided by an executive board comprised of the president, secretary and treasurer.

UIC works with the Nelson County Schools by providing financial support, sponsoring a scholarship for a Nelson County student, sponsoring a clothes closet at the middle/high school, working with the Kid Care Project and by collecting school supplies at the start of the school year.
