Community Partners Calendar for 2020
Posted by Rev Roger
Posted on March 26, 2020
Every month, UUSS gives half of the offering donations (i.e., contributions not designated as pledge payments) to a local not-for-profit organization. Twelve organizations receive about $35,000 in total over the course of a year.
Thanks to everyone for making UUSS a generous congregation.
Members voting at the October 2019 Congregational Meeting considered 18 organizations which had been nominated by members to be our community partners for 2020. All received eloquent and vigorous endorsements for their mission and good works, but these are the 12 that received the most votes in a ranked-choice balloting process.
Some are new partners to UUSS and some are long-term partners. You can do an online search to see the website of any one of them, and the web links were included in the December Unigram newsletter.
This is the schedule for donations in 2020:
January Black Child Legacy Campaign/Mutual Assistance Network
February Del Oro Caregiver Resource Center
March Sacramento Family Promise
April International Rescue Committee
May Sacramento Area Congregations Together (Sac ACT)
June Loaves and Fishes
July Mercy Pedalers
August Effie Yeaw Nature Center
September Mustard Seed School
October Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services
November Opening Doors
December River City Food Bank

We have been inspired by the Shared Offering donations that have been coming in by mail and electronically during this time when folks can’t attend a Sunday service. Now more than ever, your giving makes a crucial difference to our congregation and its Community Partners. Thank you! http://www.uuss.org/donate
