The familiar blue boxes of the United Thank Offering are intended to receive offerings in prayerful recognition of life’s daily blessings. UTO, in turn, promotes, collects and distributes these offerings to support mission and ministry. 

At its origin, UTO was an auxiliary program carried out by women of the Episcopal Church to send missionaries abroad and build schools, hospitals, and buildings in the U.S. More than a century later, it has become a broad ministry of the Church, making grants to churches in dioceses in the U.S. and their companion churches in developing countries. 

Your donations go to a variety of award recipients each year. Learn about the annual recipients and more about the work of the UTO by visiting their website HERE.
