About Hillsborough Unico
Hillsborough UNICO represents a unique approach to community service rooted in Italian American heritage and values. Founded on the belief that service to the community should transcend personal interests, this Hillsborough, NJ-based organization has built a strong reputation for putting others first. The name UNICO itself carries deep meaning—derived from the Italian word for "unique" or "one of a kind"—reflecting the founders' vision of creating an organization unlike any other by prioritizing community welfare above all else. What sets Hillsborough UNICO apart is its emphasis on meaningful sacrifice and civic responsibility. Members understand that involvement requires dedication not for personal gain, but for genuine service to others. This philosophy has guided the organization for years as it cultivates a community of Italian Americans committed to making a real difference in Hillsborough and surrounding areas. The organization celebrates Italian culture and heritage while simultaneously working to showcase the valuable contributions Italian Americans have made to American society. Through annual traditions like wine-making events, cultural celebrations, and the John Basilone Parade tribute, Hillsborough UNICO keeps heritage alive while serving contemporary community needs. The chapter operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, ensuring that all donations directly support charitable work. For those seeking to join a community-minded organization with deep roots, strong values, and genuine commitment to helping neighbors, Hillsborough UNICO offers meaningful membership and volunteer opportunities.
