About Unico Hackensack

Since its founding, Unico Hackensack has represented something truly unique in South Hackensack, NJ—a community-centered organization where service to others takes precedence above all else. The name UNICO itself, derived from the Italian word meaning 'unique' or 'one of a kind,' reflects the organization's foundational belief that it would stand apart by placing community needs at the forefront. The Hackensack chapter draws its strength from the broader UNICO National mission to celebrate Italian American heritage while actively supporting projects that uplift and enrich the local community. Operating under the guiding principle of 'Service Above Self,' Unico Hackensack members understand that meaningful contribution requires personal sacrifice and dedication to collective well-being. The organization's five pillars—Unity, Neighborliness, Integrity, Charity, and Opportunity—guide every decision and initiative undertaken by the chapter in South Hackensack. By bringing together Italian Americans who share a commitment to civic responsibility and cultural pride, Unico Hackensack creates a powerful network of individuals devoted to making their community stronger. This chapter embodies the vision of UNICO's founders: a group united not by fraternity alone, but by a genuine desire to serve others and demonstrate the invaluable contributions of Italian Americans to the broader fabric of American society.
