Ukrainian People's Aid (UNP; until 1926 — Narodna Pomoshch), the fourth largest Ukrainian fraternal security union in the United States (since 1950 also in Canada), was founded in July 1913 and is based in Pittsburgh. About 10,000 members of the UNP, organised in about 200 autonomous chapters, elect their own General Council every 4 years. Before the Second World War, the UNP united mostly Orthodox Ukrainians, and its organ, Narodne Slovo (since 1914 a monthly, since 1921 a weekly, lately a biweekly, since 1959 renamed Ukrainian People's Word), was the spokesman for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The UNP maintained ties with public organisations in western Ukraine and helped them financially. After the war, it became a co-founder and active member of the UCCA and ZUADC and supported other Ukrainian organisations, including schoolchildren and youth; since 1959, it has worked particularly closely with the organisations of the Ukrainian Liberation Front.
