Unityinthecommunity

Annette is so kind and Generous!! I have donated items to her and I always trust everything is going to help people. She never takes anything for her self. Her life is constantly serving others. My life is enriched by being a part of this organization and getting my children involved.

I am grateful to UnityComunity for helping all the immigrants who have arrived in Utah by giving free English classes. I am a witness as a student, of the wonderful teachers and the importance of learning the language .Thank you Annette Miller for your love and time.

I have volunteered for UnityintheCommUnity for more than 7 years. This nonprofit relies totally on volunteers and has changed the lives of many, both teachers and English students alike. This nonprofit has taught many students English and citizenship classes for those that want to become U.S. citizens. The bond and friendship of teachers and students is amazing. Our Motto is Build, Lift, Teach and Edify.

I was introduced to UnityintheCommUnity a little over two years ago and started volunteering with them as an English teacher. I am a retired teacher and being able to use my teaching skills to help immigrants learn how to speak and function in a new country is very rewarding. Annette Miller is a great organizer and motivator. We offer two evening classes each week and little by little, these students are learning to speak, write and understand English. Annette also organizes and helps with many temporal needs.

I had a great experience with UnityInTheCommunity. I was able to help teach many immigrants English, setting them on a path to citizenship and opportunity. I was always blown away by the passion of everyone involved. It wasn't just an organization - it felt like a family.

This is a wonderful initiative to be a part of! When my family arrived in this country, Unity in the Community was a huge part of our transitional period; and after that was done, I joined as a volunteer for some time. They help newly arrived immigrants and refugees learn English and with any other type of assistance they may need to get established in the best way possible.

Thank you Annette Miller for" Giving warmth in a sometimes cold world", for your sweet heart, for serving with love, for helping the families who have come to Utah as refugees or asylees, I am a witness of your love for all families. Because you have helped them with what they need, with clothes, coats, sheets, etc. But you have also given love, and helped them learn the language, you are Amagazin!!!. This world needs more people like you, Thank you for lighting up this world with love. You're an angel. We love you.

I love UnityintheCommUnity and Annette Miller. This is such a wonderful and incredible nonprofit. Annette puts her whole heart and soul into this. She is so loving, helpful and supportive to her volunteers and students. This program truly unifies communities as it helps people learn English so they can not only communicate with others, but also be able to do what most would consider everyday errands such as shopping, doctors appointments, etc that they struggled with before when not being able to speak the language. It opens up whole new opportunities and freedoms for these amazing people. It has been one of the biggest blessings in my life to volunteer with UnityintheCommUnity. Working with refugees and immigrants and building friendships and memories with them is something I will never forget. I have learned as much from them as they learned from me. I will forever be grateful to Annette for this life changing opportunity.

Annette Miller is amazing! She dedicates her life to helping others! She helped me study for my Citizenship test and I passed. She went out of her way to get me a binder that same day that I called her. Not just that… she truly cares for everyone and is always looking for ways to give to other. I am truly blessed to have met her and to call her an angel and a friend! Annette thank you for being the amazing person that you are!

I am really honored to have had the opportunity to help UnityintheCommunity. The organization's leader was so kind and helpful. With so many amazing projects, they are amazing. I totally recommend serving with UnityintheCommunity if you can

So much gratitude for Annette and her volunteers for providing citizenship and English classes for my refugee and immigrant friends. Annette sees needs and finds unique ways to empower and educate her participants

This has been one of the greatest, most important opportunities of my life. I help teach English to refugees and immigrants desiring nothing more than self-improvement, a place in society and an opportunity to improve. These kind, eager people are incredible and bring the beauty of their diverse cultures for us to enjoy - the food, the dress, the social interactions - things many of us may never experience if we don't visit their countries. Their struggles to get here remind how great this country is that so many are risking everything just for an opportunity to try here. UnityinthecommUnity provides that opportunity to many.

Although I am the one on the teaching side of things in the classroom, the students - every one of them - are the true teachers. They learn English from us, but what we glean from them is so much more -- to the point that each one of us is a student and each one of us is a teacher.

UnityintheCommUnity gives refugees and immigrants the opportunities they seek, at no charge, and provides guidance and support in so many aspects of their lives. In addition to helping learn English and Math for citizenship or just self-improvement, it helps to find apartments, home furnishings, clothing, medical providers and many other services to assist the families integration into life here, Entire families show up for the classes because it is such a special place. Not only are they learning English and Math, they are making lifelong friends, acquaintances and contacts that will better their lives. Each individual makes an impressive, positive impact on me, I absolutely love doing this!!!

UnityinthecommUnity's involvement in all aspects of community affairs is heartwarming. Annette Miller is a continual source of information and support. She is a pillar to these folks. The lighthouse on a stormy night. She has contacts and information and goes to great lengths to make certain each individual receives personal attention. All of the teachers and volunteers have these qualities which is why this program works so well. Everyone involved in UnityinthecommUnity is devoted to helping these people make the difference in their lives for which they strive. It is a tightly knit network of people helping people - there is no other objective.

mriggs. Volunteering for Unity in the Community has been a perfect fit for me. I love participating in service given to immigrants who come here for a better life. U.C. gives furniture, clothing and other items for living , as well as english, math, and citizenship classes. Some come here with little or nothing. The founder, Annette Miller brings so much love and inspiration and gives it to all. This organization is a great way to embrace the world and every person in it.

I am a high school teacher of multilingual students. Although I do everything I can to support my students' English development there are gaps. They go to EIGHT classes taught in English. I teach the basics and we cover a lot but they still need more support. I am so grateful for Unity in the Community for stepping in to fill those gaps.

When a family moves into the community there is so much they are learning and trying to navigate. The language, the culture, the customs, the norms. They need a network of people who care about them. It takes a village.

Unity in the Community welcomes ANYONE who wants to come and improve their English and/or ready themselves for the citizenship test. Additionally, they have a math tutor who helps my high school students every week.

Unity in the Community plays an important role in making West Jordan (and other cities) a truly welcoming place for all of its citizens.

UnityinthecommUnity does some amazing work with refugee families. They help families move into apartments; then provide furniture, kitchen supplies and other needed items. They help with other needs like Dr. appointments, school registration,
and understanding the refugee family's new neighborhood. This nonprofit also provides classes in learning English, Math, and gaining citizenship. It is a impactful organization that truly finds what is most needed and then provides it.

Unity in the Community is a dedicated organization committed to helping refugees become self sufficient through teaching skills and knowledge to become citizens. This nonprofit also helps collect and distributing needed living necessities to support people in establishing their lives in a new country. This is a great way to learn about people from other countries and the personal goodness of individuals from other parts of the world.

UnityintheCommUnity is an incredible nonprofit. It was the brainchild of Annette Miller, who has a heart of gold. From humble beginnings, it has grown to provide services for new immigrants and refugees in the Midvale area, including free English classes and free citizenship classes. It has an amazing track record in helping new immigrants progress to citizenship. It is a tremendous resource that I wish more people were aware of.

Years ago I found a group of people willing to give of their time to help others, teach with love and dedication to those who may not have money to pay for classes, or make friends. They helped me with my citizenship test, I couldn't be more grateful, thank you so much for everything

I had the pleasure of being able to witness one of the beautiful events that Annette Miller @ her crew put on for some of our community refugee friends. New & gently used household items. Her crew pulled off an amazing event. It was so special to watch how she treats everyone with such grace.

Hello friend, I am very grateful for the help received from you, may thelp received from you, may the Lord bless you always for that great heart that you have for love and humility towards others, your help was of great importance to me and continué to provide this valuable service.

This is the real thing. It is local and has a direct impact on individuals in the community. I have personally been involved and can say that there is nothing pretentious about the organization or volunteers. They just help. It is a great organization to volunteer, a great organization to support, and a great organization to promote. -Justin Bellville

Our family worked with Unityinthecommunity as volunteers. My husband met Annette at an event to organize donations for refugees in the community. We were then able to help a Venezuelan family that just arrived in Utah a few weeks ago. This organization seems very dedicated to helping those in need. We have enjoyed working with Annette and hope to be able to help other families in need in the future.

One activity in particular was a unbelievable event of providing relief to hose in need

We have in the past worked together at a community dental clinic and she and her organization always show greasy compaction and concern

They are amazing, always attentive and helpful in helping the needy community. When I arrived in the US they helped me a lot, including English classes so I could get used to the country. I will never forget what they did for me.

I have been involved with Unityinthecommunity as a volunteer. This organization is very well run and always striving to do the best for the refugee community. Utah has so many good people willing to share and this organization does a great job organizing donation drives, finding the refugees most in need and distributing the donations.

Unity in the community is such an amazing nonprofit they're kind and so helpful always finding a way to find others needs. I am beyong greatful for everything they have done for my family and i.

We have had a wonderful experience with UnityintheCommUnity and are so grateful for Annette Miller and the good people she has assembled to help refugees and asylum seekers in any stage of their adjustment and resettlement. 100 percent of donations of any kind go to the good people they serve. They care deeply about these families, both their physical and emotional needs and go to great lengths to provide all they need. We participated in a project with them and our church group and everyone was so amazed at how one on one their service is. Our group donated new and gently used clothing, furniture, household items, toys etc. and then a pick up day was arranged where people could come and take what they needed. Monies were also donated and UnityintheCommUnity kept a careful accounting of how the money was spent so we could inform donors of the specific good their donations had done. They take time to understand individual circumstances and how needs can best be met and everyone is treated with honor and respect. As a donor or volunteer, you are informed of the best ways to help, given a clear picture of what is needed and often even get to meet the families your donations go to. Anytime I have interacted with Annette of UnityintheCommUnity, I have left feeling inspired to remain involved. Often, people that have been served by UnityintheCommUnity return and do all they can to serve as well. We cannot say enough about this non profit and plan to support them in any way we can going forward. We are grateful for good people like Annette Miller and great organizations like UnityintheCommUnity.

When one observes the efforts of Unity in the Community and it's leadership having such dynamic success in bringing established Midvale residents together with an influx of foreign speaking immigrants, heartfelt admiration, and profound respect are insufficient phrases to describe the impact. Determined to assist the traditional population to embrace, the diversity and opportunities that accompany the new immigrant population, Unity's success seems to key off of the devotion of its community volunteers - especially it's leadership - in convincing the established residents to help raise the quality of life and education for immigrant families; particularly those who currently find themselves consigned to a less than viable economic status, and then to facilitate opportunities for those same immigrants to assimilate while adding to the cultural and economic life of Midvale city. While Unity in the Community does accept donations - 100% of which goes to help families in need - all of this is done by volunteers who accept no salary - not even the CEO. Judging from the joy and satisfaction observed on their faces at Unity in the Community events however, they're receiving a profoundly heartfelt compensation money could never buy. And truly, any town or city dealing with related or similar issues could learn much from the successful leadership demonstrated by the devoted volunteers of Unity in the Community.

The person who runs Unity in the community. Is the best. She is one of the kindest people that one can meet. She helps people learn English, & helps people in a lot of different ways. So if you need help in any kinda of way please reach out to her. And she will do her best to help if she can.

It is excellent, they are so nice with me and my family and with the rest of the people

Among other things, Unityinthecommunity provides helping hands and friendly heart to the refugee and immigrant population in our community.

I spent 6 months or so helping teach English as a second language to refugees and immigrants with the nonprofit Unity in the Community. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I grew to really like and even love many of the people we were teaching. I look forward to doing it again when Covid restrictions allow. This organization truly touches the lives of so many people who desperately need the help it provides.

UnityintheCommUnity is a great non profit that blesses the lives of so many. It serves as a place where members of the community can receive needed assistance and also a place where community members can give their time and talents to bless others. Annette is a great leader and truly loves and wants to help all who she is associated with.

I am so grateful to have been able to help and learn from this great nonprofit! The compassion and service from the organizers and volunteers is a comfort for families in need. Annette Miller is an angel on earth!

This non-profit working below the level of noticeability, has been such a pleasant surprise to me while serving as Mayor of Midvale City. Seemingly without government or any other large donors, they have stepped up many times to arrange for donations from innumerable sources and then distributed the donations in a quiet, yet efficient manner to the needy immigrants and others on "the down and out". No seeking for glory, fame, or anything personal, all activities have been carried on quietly and for the benefit of the needy. Truly saints!
--Robert Hale, Mayor, Midvale, Utah

This is a charitable organization that puts those it serves before all else. Love and respect for humanity are clearly the driving forces behind the efforts of UnityintheCommunity to build up the lives of those in need. Annette, the founder and operator of the charity, is an example to all of how genuine concern for the well-being of others can improve their quality of life.

Since I arrived Utah I have witnessed the service of a beautiful women Annette Miller, she has been in every service activity, especially serving with love the people who are coming to Utah, Thank you. ������

I love this nonprofit organization! So many good things happening at UnityintheCommUnity!
Three years ago, I started volunteering as a teacher of the citizenship class. It has been such an uplifting and satisfying experience. I have loved sharing my love for this country and its history with the students in my classes. It has been such a joy to watch them learn, study and prepare for their naturalization.
Not only did I get to teach them and learn from them, I’ve also seen two of them become citizens. These were such fulfilling experiences; the cream on top of everything else. I am so proud of them and will never forget the experiences I had with them. Nor the memories of seeing their growth and success.
UnityintheCommUnity also provides so much more than citizenship classes. They provide English, Spanish, math classes. They provide a loving commUnity. They provide a place to feel safe. And resources and networking for immigrants and refugees in need. I love the family-feel this organization has. It is such a welcoming place. It truly feels like a home.
This organization is making the world more unified. I am so grateful for how it has opened my eyes and given me the chance to truly love some of the most amazing people I have ever met.
I love UnityintheCommUnity!

Nothing but great things to say about this wonderful non-profit that is helping refugees and immigrants become important members of the community. UnityintheCommUnity does not give handouts...it gives ha dups! Many of the people who are helped by this wonderful non-profit return to help others. Besides giving needed food and household items, UnityintheCommUnity also provides free English as a second la guage lessons and helps refugees and immigrants study so they can take the test to become U.S. Citizens. This non-profit is making a positive difference in the lives of those it serves, its volunteers, its community, the United States and ultimately, the World.

I recently became aware of this remarkable organization that is doing so much to help the refugee population in the Salt Lake valley when I happened upon their service project providing gently used clothing and household items free of charge to anyone in need. The donations filled the cultural hall of an LDS stake center in Midvale. The project was well-organized and the efforts of countless hours of donated service was evident. Refugees of countless ethnicities were in attendance, including some very recently resettled Afghani refugee families. What a great contribution these families are going to add to the diversity and strength of our community! Thanks to Annette and all your amazing volunteers for making our community a welcoming and inviting place to live. This is clearly an organization worthy of our financial and service hour support.

It has been a memorable, enriching experience for me to have had the opportunity to teach English classes with UnityintheCommunity. Annette Miller is a highly competent leader who is totally committed to making a difference for all those she serves. She does this with enormous love and compassion for all the diverse participants. I would highly recommend giving service hours to this cause.

This is a charity worth giving to. Everything is donated to the refugees. The people are kind generous giving and helpful. It’s amazing what you give to the community and to witness what comes out of those gifts. These people in need are so grateful for what they receive. They get here with nothing. They leave with some thing. Isn’t that how America started? This is what we’re supposed to do. I’m so glad to be a part of such a giving organization. The real gift is in the service to the people. Everyone leaves filling fulfilled.

As a teacher in the UnityintheCommunity language classes for two years I am most impressed with the bond that exists between students. The divergence of ethnicity is almost global in scope yet there is a unique similarity among the students arising from common hopes and desires; there is an undeniable kinship that not only bonds them personally but unites them in a learning environment that benefits them together and individually as they learn from and help each other. The program is marvelously organized, with dedicated and capable teachers, with excellent student materials, with community cooperation in making class space available, and all under Annette's remarkable leadership. As a teacher it is always a joy to watch the students learn a difficult language but it is equally a joy to be part of the friendships that grow from the atmosphere of learning not only the new language but of learning about each other and what we can do together.

Unityinthecommunity provides a wonderful service to individuals who are trying to learn English as a second language. The classes are free; and the founder, Annette, manages to keep up with the ever fluctuating numbers of learners and various levels of comprehension. Learning English is a vital part of becoming contributing citizens and not just recipients of charity. My experience in working with the organization has definitely been positive.

I've been an ESL teacher with Unity in the Community in Midvale since it started. I love what I GET from serving (I learn--even though I'm there to teach--and I love the people I meet). The classes are free to anyone. This organization makes the community better because it brings immigrants and life-long residents together and makes us better people, not just for ourselves or our careers, but for each other.
