Since the beginning, the Melrose UU Church has a strong history of commitment to Social Justice.
Currently, we have two Social Justice Ministry Teams focused on human rights, human dignity, and the protection of our planet.
We invite anyone from the Melrose community and beyond to join these teams, not just MUUC’ers!

Immigration Support Alliance
After five years of supporting asylum seekers and refugees as a MUUC social justice ministry, the MUUC Immigration Ministry Team evolved into “ISA” (Immigration Support Alliance), a nonprofit coalition of volunteers that partners with resettlement agencies to the necessary support for our clients, helping them on their journey towards becoming independent, contributing members of our communities.
For more information, email info@immigrantsupportalliance.org,
or see the ISA website at immigrantsupportalliance.org
Alternative Fair during Melrose Home for The Holidays (December)
MUUC hosts the annual Alternative Fair during “Melrose Home for the Holidays”. A trolley stop during the city-wide day of events, the Alternative Fair is a great place to shop for “gifts with a conscience” – supporting local & small businesses, non-profit organizations, and charities.
