Faith-to-Action
The Faith-to-Action recipient for November is the Pink Haven Coalition. The PHC is a collective of organizations and individuals committed to trans liberation and to growing mutual aid and other sources of ally-ship, support and care for our gender diverse siblings. UUCC’s Affiliated Community Minister, the Rev. Dottie Mathews, has been one of their volunteers over the last many months. The PHC has significant support from the UU Service Committee and other faith partners. One of the primary uses of the funds raised is to help “domestic refugees” (people within the United States who must flee due to threats of violence and (some states’ legal restrictions). We hope you will donate to help the PHC organizers and volunteers as they work to assist more people across the U.S. who are seeking safety and the medical care they need.

August: $1,174.25 for No More Deaths

Loaves and Fishes update
Note that you may be reimbursed for your cost if you donate food at our third Sunday L&F meals. Submit your grocery receipt along with a standard UUCC Expense Voucher. Email the Church Administrator to obtain the church’s sales tax exemption certificate to use when purchasing food for Loaves and Fishes.
Cooking not your thing? You can still be part of the effort by donating to the Loaves & Fishes Reserve Fund, which we use to reimburse food expenses. We hope to get this on the UUCC website donations drop-down list soon… but you can always write a good-old-fashioned check to UUCC with Loaves & Fishes Reserve Fund in the memo line. The Church Administrator knows what to do with it!
