Making A Difference: Social Justice in our Congregation

Unitarian Universalist Service Committee
Our congregation supports the UUSC, our UU human rights organization. As a congregation, we specify a line-item in our budget based on the number of members. Right now we give $2 per member to the organization. We also support the UUSC through the following activities:

Guest At Your Table (UUSC)
This is an annual campaign that takes place from Thanksgiving to the New Year which teaches people of all ages about human needs, human rights and sharing. We provide small boxes to be placed on the table, to invite into our homes people from around the world who need our support in their struggle for basic human rights. As you have your meal, you put coins or money in the box and accumulate it over four or five weeks. The money saved then goes to the UUSC.

For more information or to get a Guest At Your Table box, contact Lois Whealey.

Coffee & Chocolate for Social Justice
We sell organic, free-trade coffee and chocolate items with all of the profits being funneled back to the UUSC. Items can be purchased on Sunday morning. So not only are you supporting UUSC by buying these items at the fellowship, you are also helping farmers in third world countries by giving them a fair price for their produce, AND encouraging environmental sustainability because the coffee is shade-grown and organic.
