Your voice, your vote
Our History
Pillsbury United Communities was founded in 1879 as the Bethel Mission, an offshoot of Plymouth Congregational Church. We trace our roots to many of the earliest settlement houses in our city, including Pillsbury House, Unity House, and Wells Memorial House. Our history is as rich and diverse as the neighborhoods we’ve called home.
Our communities and our work have evolved over the last 140 years, but our mission remains the same: working with our communities to co-create enduring change towards a just society.
