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 donate here on this website using the donate button and choosing the social action offering. You can also mail a check to 17 W Maple St. Hinsdale IL 60521 and write your recipient in the memo line. Thank You!

September 2020 - Austin Scholarship Fund
Since 1974, the Austin Scholarship Committee has reviewed applications and awarded 12-17 scholarships per year to graduating high school seniors in the Austin area. Committee members visit Chicago schools to invite applicants; review, deliberate and vote on awards; and participate in planning and staging the awards ceremony. The current scholarship is for $1000 per student, awarded in two installments: the first based on high school grades and acceptance to college, and the second based on the student successfully completing the first semester. UCH has been a longtime supporter of this work at Third Unitarian in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. Your gifts are an important part of helping young people follow their dreams. Each scholarship is $1000...let's see if UCH can collect enough to give two scholarships this year. Last year, we collected $1,029. Either click the donate button, or write a check to UCH with Austin Scholars Fund in the memo and we will send in one check. Thank you for your generosity! |
