About Rockaway Township UNICO

Our Mission

To unite people of Italian heritage in an organization to perform charitable,  patriotic, and educational deeds. 


UNICO’s motto, “Service Above  Self” drives us to embody the true essence of UNICO. 


The name “UNICO”  means “unique” or “only one of its kind” in Italian, and the letters symbolize our core values: 

U for Unity,

I for  Integrity, 

C for Charity,

O for Opportunity.


We are thrilled to welcome you to join us and contribute to our mission.
