About Greater Westfield Unico
Based in Westfield, New Jersey, the Greater Westfield Unico Chapter represents a vibrant community of individuals dedicated to preserving Italian heritage while fostering civic responsibility and neighborly service. As a chapter of UNICO National, this organization carries forward a legacy rooted in the belief that true community service transcends personal gain. The name UNICO itself—meaning "unique" or "one of a kind" in Italian—reflects the founders' vision of an organization that places community welfare at its heart. The chapter embodies five core principles represented by the UNICO acronym: Unity, Neighborliness, Integrity, Charity, and Opportunity. Members of Greater Westfield Unico in Westfield, NJ come together regularly to celebrate their shared Italian American identity while actively contributing to local causes through scholarships, cultural programming, and community events. The organization's approach recognizes that meaningful change requires personal sacrifice and commitment to serving others rather than pursuing individual interests. By hosting cultural celebrations and fundraising events throughout the year, the chapter creates spaces where community members can deepen their connections to Italian traditions while supporting their neighbors. For those seeking a community organization grounded in service, cultural pride, and genuine neighborly connection, Greater Westfield Unico offers a welcoming home where Italian American values of family, community, and giving back are lived daily.
