October Special Offering: Neighbors in Need

Neighbors in Need (NIN) is a special mission offering of the United Church of Christ that supports ministries of economic, racial, and environmental justice and compassion throughout the United States.

 In 2024, the Neighbors in Need theme is “Mental Health Justice for All!” A just world for all is a world where the human rights and well-being of people with mental health challenges are respected, no matter who you are or where you are in life’s mental health journey. 

Two-thirds of this offering is used by the UCC’s Justice and Witness Ministries to support a variety of justice initiatives, advocacy efforts, and direct service projects in congregations and other settings of the church. One-third of NIN funds support the Council for American Indian Ministry.

Please give generously to further these ministries. Contributions to the NIN offering will be accepted throughout the month of October.

To donate online to this month’s Special Offering, visit our E-Giving page and select “October Special Offering: Neighbors in Need” from the Fund drop-down menu. To donate by check, be sure to specify “Neighbors in Need” in the memo line.
