A Warm Welcome
Volunteers are vital to the fulfillment of the Unity House mission. Among the most dedicated of volunteers are those who serve on the Unity House Board of Directors. This dedicated team works individually and collectively to share their time, talent, and treasure. They exemplify the highest commitment to the people we serve.
Elected over the summer, each of these individuals brings with them a unique perspective and the same passion to inspire greater giving, more awareness of people in need, and a desire to help make life better for those in need.
