Biographical/Historical Note

United China Relief was founded in 1941 in New York City for the purpose of raising funds to aid the Chinese people. In order to raise funds more efficiently, severalorganizations joined together as United China Relief. Among the founding organizations were the American Bureau for Medical Aid to China, the Associated Boards for Christian Colleges in China, the China Emergency Relief Committee, the Church Committee for China Relief, and the China Aid Council. The founding committees retained their own individual identities and continued their relief missions to China. In 1947 the name of United China Reliefwas changed to United Service to China.
