Biographical / Historical
The Unitarian Service Committee was established in 1940 as a standing committee of the American Unitarian Association to be a "committee to investigate opportunities both in America and abroad … for humanitarian service." In the same year, the Universalist Board of Trustees appointed an emergency War Relief Committee to organize support for its Universalist War Relief Fund. Out of this effort came the Universalist Service Committee, which was officially formed in 1945. In 1963, the Unitarian and Universalist Service Committees merged to form the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.
