How to Support First Unitarian Church of Chicago

First Unitarian Church of Chicago's website points to one named giving effort: the Together Toward Tomorrow campaign. The site states that contributions "sustain us and make a profound difference in our continued growth and impact," and it labels the effort the 2026-2027 Campaign. That is the clearest support path the homepage describes. Beyond money, the same page lists several ways to give time and presence — joining events, small groups, and volunteer writing projects.

The named campaign: Together Toward Tomorrow

The homepage presents Together Toward Tomorrow as the church's current fundraising focus. Two details are stated directly:

• Purpose: contributions sustain the church and extend its "continued growth and impact."
• Term: the campaign is identified as the 2026-2027 Campaign.

If you want to give financially, this is the campaign the site names. The homepage does not list payment platforms, suggested amounts, or a direct donation link in the material available, so treat the campaign name as your starting point and look for the giving page or contact the church office for the mechanics.

Non-financial ways to support the community

The site frames support broadly. Several listed activities let you contribute time, skills, or participation:

• Write Love Notes to "our absent members and friends" — a volunteer writing task the homepage explicitly invites people to help with.
• Join a Small Group Ministry — ongoing small-group participation that sustains community life.
• Attend Community Meal Nights and Game Nights — childcare is noted as available for these.
• Join an Affinity Group — connecting with a group tied to shared identity or interest.
• Join the Green Sanctuary Committee — monthly hikes on the last Saturday of each month in Cook County.
• Attend the Samhain Community Dinner (listed for November 4) and other events on the EVENTS calendar.

These are participation-based forms of support rather than donations, and each is named on the homepage.

Events as a support channel

The EVENTS calendar is the hub for service and LRE (Lifespan Religious Education) information, small group meetings, and more. Supporting the church often means showing up:

A featured service noted on the page is "A New Era of Action in Illinois" with Natasha Walker, dated Sunday, October 11, 2026.

If you are new

The site has a Visitor's Page with a visitor's form, described as a way for the church to "get to know you." Filling it out is a low-commitment first step that also signals your interest — useful if you are deciding whether to give or get involved. All ages are welcomed, per the homepage.

What the site does not specify

The available homepage material does not state donation amounts, payment methods, membership requirements for giving, or whether any activity carries a fee. For those specifics, use the campaign name and the Visitor's Page as entry points, or reach out to the church directly.
