We are a generous Congregation. Each week we share half of the cash given in the collection plate with a charity or cause determined by the Social Action Committee. This fall and early winter, we gave to the UUSC’s Syrian Refugee Fund, Urban Hope, the Minister’s Discretionary Fund, Guest at Your Table and the Homeless Standdown (Bus passes and personal care kit supplies). We gave a total of $1,002 in cash this fall, this does not include the value of goods and services donated for these services too. I find the results of this effort most amazing for a Congregation of our size.
Listed below are the gifts and when the checks to the organizations/causes were written. I believe this information needs to be shared with the greater community.
