United Crescent Hill Ministries

United Crescent Hill Ministries (UCHM) is a community ministry based in Louisville, Kentucky. This organization, which employs four people, is sponsored by a combination of 19 churches, businesses, and individuals from the Crescent Hill, Clifton, Clifton Heights, and Butchertown neighborhoods. UCHM was founded in the wake of the 1974 tornado, with churches that provided aid during the disaster choosing to continue collaborating on community needs. UCHM provides a variety of programs to approximately 3,500 individuals annually. Their services encompass emergency financial and food assistance, youth programming, health prevention services, a senior citizen nutrition program and Meals on Wheels, senior citizen activities, community development and organizing efforts, ecumenical activities, outreach, referrals, and advocacy. These programs serve the wider Louisville Metro area, including youth and senior programs. UCHM relies heavily on a network of 350 volunteers, along with two full-time and two part-time staff members, to deliver its essential services. The organization's mission statement, "Serving Our Neighbors ~ Building Better Community," reflects their dedication to improving the lives of those they serve.
