At 6 a.m. on the Tuesday before Christmas day, when most people were enjoying their morning coffee, the staff at Unity House in Troy, New York, was already hard at work. In a matter of hours, hundreds of community members would be lining up to pick up everything needed to enjoy a holiday meal.
This special holiday food service is a yearly effort made possible by the Unity House Street Ministry program—a program that also provides crisis intervention, counseling, homelessness prevention, pregnancy care and emergency food, clothing and house wares to over 10,000 people in the Rensselaer County-area each year.
“Our clients come from all backgrounds and are in all stages of life,” said Victoria Baecker, development associate for Unity House. “The Street Ministry holiday food program makes sure that everyone is able to have a holiday meal, even if they don’t have the means to purchase it themselves.”
In past years, Unity House has distributed the nonperishable food items for the holiday meals in plain paper bags, paired with a 14-pound turkey, potatoes, vegetables and a pumpkin pie for each family. But this year, with help from 4imprint’s one by one™ program, recipients received a little something more: The paper bags had been replaced with reusable tote bags, proudly imprinted with the Unity House logo.
“It seems silly, but many people were just as excited about the bag as they were about the food,” said Baecker. “Most people can get bags like this on a whim from any grocery store, forgetting what a small luxury it is. For our recipients, it was a big deal—it was a gift. They were so thrilled and so grateful.”
The Unity House Street Ministry program also supplies holiday food baskets on Thanksgiving each year. At the end of the holiday season, 1,000 food baskets had been distributed, 250 with the new tote bag. All recipients have been welcomed to bring the bag back time and time again if they ever need to return to the Street Ministry’s food pantry.
For over 38 years, Unity House, a nonprofit human service organization, has been dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people living in poverty, adults with mental illness, victims of domestic violence, children with developmental delays and their families, people living with HIV/AIDS, and others whose needs can be effectively be met by Unity House services and philosophy.

The New Jersey Army and Air National Guard celebrated Unity Day on Thursday, June 18, 2015 at the National Guard's Joint Training and Training Development Center at Fort Dix, New Jersey. This year's observance kicked off with a 5K Fun Walk/Run followed by official ceremonies.
The New Jersey National Guard was the first state militia in the country to desegregate. In April of 1930, with the full support and encouragement of then Governor Alfred Driscoll, the State Legislature took the unprecedented step of approving the formation of the First Separate Battalion, New Jersey Army National Guard. Even though these actions were in apparent violation of federal law, the state appropriated funds for the organization of this battalion. In July of 1931, 63 members of Company A of New Jersey's newest unit were mustered-in at an old movie theater in Newark, New Jersey.

As a biologist, I'm often not thinking about people as a collective whole, but as a whole supercomplex patchwork of processes that come together to create the illusion of 'one-ness'. So these portraits are my sort of ham-fisted way of visually representing the organised chaos that goes on inside us at any one time, from which we mentally construct a coherent image. Hopefully, when you look at this from a distance you see a single, simple portrait, but on closer inspection you can see a whole load of subtle and less subtle disintegrated layers that despite being discrete units, nevertheless represent a single person as an ever shifting yet functioning, coherent thing.
There is unity in this bulletin board outside of my RA's door. It mentions where she is by using a map from Lord of the Rings and the use of only three colors on the entire board in contrast to the complex design make it unified.
