Each month UCH has given away the entire collection from one service a month to a non-profit doing important work in the wider world. Since Covid times, the amount collected has dropped dramatically so we are widening our time frame to the entire month each group. Check this space for information on current and past partners.
You can also mail a check to the Unitarian Church of Hinsdale at 17 W Maple St. Hinsdale IL 60521 and write your recipient in the memo line. Thank You!
