Each month the Church supports a social justice organization by donating one Sunday’s plate collection. The Action Council will review the current and proposed recipients and present a slate for 2018-19 at the Annual Meeting on April 29 for a congregational vote. If you would like to make a suggestion for an organization to support, or voice your support for a currently supported organization, please email actioncouncil@uucpa.org or call one of us, before Monday, March 26.
Among the factors considered are:
- Are UUCPA members actively involved with the group;
- Preference for local groups;
- Who they serve and what they do;
- What is their funding base and will our donation have an impact.
For nominations of new organizations, please provide information to help the Action Council with our decision, including:
- Organization name and location;
- Organization website;
- Who they serve and what they do;
- Size (in terms of membership if applicable and budget);
- Their major source of funds;
- Your relationship with the group.
