Join us in offering Radical Hospitality...

 The hospitality team has openings for new volunteers! (Yes, again!) By ushering, handing out orders of services, and just saying hello, hospitality works to create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who comes to 2U. It's a great way to get to know people, do your part for 2U, and put your spirituality into practice. For more information or to sign up, contact Ann and Nathan (hospitality@secondunitarian.org).
|
|
Other Volunteer Opportunities:
| |
 We have a couple once-a-month openings for folks wishing to get involved and help Sunday mornings run smoothly. From simply greeting families at the Children's Welcome Table to working with our young folks, there are many levels of involvement. Contact Pam Rumancik at programs@secondunitarian.org for more information.

ight Ministry News

On July 12th, the White House honored Paul W. Hamann, President and CEO of The Night Ministry, as one of thirteen individuals who have made a significant difference in the way their communities combat homelessness among children and youth as a "Champion of Change." Paul was honored for his leadership of The Night Ministry and the organization's rich history of providing youth with an innovative system of care. The Night Ministry's youth housing programs provide structured, safe and supportive living situations to youth from all backgrounds who face multiple, difficult challenges. Through The Night Ministry's Youth Outreach Van and Youth Shelter Programs, they work on the ground in Chicago neighborhoods to reach adults, teens, pregnant girls and new moms who have nowhere else to go.
"I am extremely honored to receive this honor on behalf of the staff, volunteers and supporters of The Night Ministry as well as those whom we serve. Our work together is making an impact on the streets of Chicago and in the way our government addresses youth homelessness in America. While today is a day to celebrate all that we have achieved, I look forward to finding new and even more effective ways to meet the needs of Chicago's youth," said Hamann.
The Night Ministry is a Chicago-based organization, with an office at 4711 N. Ravenswood Ave. in the 47th Ward, that works to provide housing, healthcare and human connection to members of our community struggling with poverty or homelessness. They are active and on the ground in Chicago neighborhoods, working to build relationships with adults, youth and children. They offer immediate and transitional housing, healthcare, outreach and social services. For more about The Night Ministry, please visit their website. http://www.thenightministry.org/
