Each month the Church supports a social justice organization by donating one Sunday’s plate collection to the organization. The Action Council will review the current and proposed recipients and present a slate for 2020-21 at the Annual Meeting on April 19, 2020 for a congregational vote. If you would like to nominate an organization to support or voice your support for a currently supported organization, please email actioncouncil@uucpa.org or call one of us, before Sat, Feb 29.
Factors that are given priority in creating the slate of organizations are:
- UUCPA congregants actively involved with the group;
- A preference for local groups;
- Who they serve and what they do;
- What is their funding base and will our donation have an impact;
- A balance of causes among different issues, such as poverty, environment, etc.
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;
- Your relationship with the group.
