Share the Plate (Sunday offering)
Four Sundays of a month, UUCA donates 70% of the collection to a recipient group. UUCA’s Share the Plate is a key element of our social justice funding program. Each year, members, and friends of UUCA donate thousands of dollars to our Sunday morning worship service offerings. These funds are then shared with our community partners and used to support causes that allow this congregation to put our values and faith into action.
“Fifth” Sunday collections (July, December, March and June) will be go to the UUCA Social Justice Fund for special appeals, emergency relief, and/or to cover expenses of building use for Social Justice & Interfaith groups that we support in our wider community.
