One Sunday each month, we pass the plate not for the ongoing need to sustain our congregation but for the needs of others beyond our walls. We choose a non-profit, international, national or local, whose values are consistent with our own. Often a guest speaker from the non-profit comes to tell us about their activities.
Recent recipients of our Community Offering include:
Vashon: Vashon Food Bank, Vashon Kids (part of Vashon Youth and Family Services), Interfaith Council for the Prevention of Homelessness (Covid fund, general fund), DOVE Vashon, Vashon Household
Washington/Pacific Northwest: Community Passageways, Northwest Community Bail Fund, Real Rent Duwamish, Washington Environmental Council, Church of the Indian Fellowship (Tacoma), Northwest Immigrant Rights, Seattle Indian Health Board
National: DRUUM (Diverse Revolutionary Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministries), TRUUsT (Transgender Religious UU professionals Together)
We are choosing the recipients for our Community Offering for 2023-24 and would like your recommendations.
