Unitarian Universalist Service Committee

The Unitarian Service Committee was formed as a standing committee of the American Unitarian Association in May 1940. Its purpose was to investigate opportunities in America and abroad for humanitarian service. In 1945, the Universalist Service Committee was formed. During and after World War II, these two Committees aided hundreds of displaced persons in occupied countries, allowing many of them to find passage to the United States. In 1961, these two committees joined, and the present-day Unitarian Universalist Service Committee continues to endeavor to advance human rights and social justice throughout the world.
