We are a partner for Habitat Humanity – Newark, helping building decent homes for God’s people in need. We have funded homes around the world as well as shared in the cost of those closer to home. We enjoy workdays together and with our sister church, First Cong.

We participate in the Interfaith Hospitality Network, which houses the temporarily homeless. Union hosts homeless families along with other Essex County Congregations that open their doors to create a suitable living atmosphere for families for a week at a time. Three times a year, our educational building becomes home to up to four families who sleep, eat, do homework and feel safe here. Best of all, we become friends!

Volunteers are urgently needed to assist for during the week providing food, staying overnight, or assisting in activities. If you would like to help, contact the church office, sign up in the assembly room, or contact one of the coordinators below.

Janet Hillman, general coordinator
