Providing life changing opportunities

United Ministries provides life changing opportunities
and advocacy for people in our community who lack education
or employment skills, who are in financial
crisis, who are homeless, and those who can help.

About Us

United Ministries was founded in 1970 to help those in their time of
need with food and financial assistance, and evolved to provide
resources needed to help people emerge from poverty situations.

In 1989, services grew to include a homeless day shelter (the first in
SC) that provides basic hygiene (showers, restrooms, laundry) and communication services (phone and mail), as well as in-depth case management aimed at addressing the barriers (mental or physical
illness, substance abuse, etc.,) that keep participants from long-term housing.

In 2002, United Ministries added the Learning Center which offers Adult Education via free GED instruction, and Greenville Technical College transition classes, as well as Employment Readiness which provides general and job-specific training.

United Ministries is also home to one of the most unique programs in our community – Our Eyes Were Opened – an education and advocacy program for compassionate individuals with resources to help.

Over 80 congregations support United Ministries as an outreach
ministry of their church, and even more groups engage through food
drives for our food pantry, warmth or care package drives for the Place
of Hope, and participation in our annual Walk for the Homeless. __________________________________________________________

Learn to Earn

We all know that education is critical to breaking cycles of poverty and disappointment. Often times, for students in United Ministries’ Adult Education Program, poverty sets the backdrop for the stories of their lives. For one reason or another, they did not finish high school. Some made some bad decisions in their youth; for others, circumstances beyond their control kept them from achievement. They have come to United Ministries for a second chance, and we are glad they came. 
And because of your support, we will offer them life changing oppor-tunities.
