Come support our Afghan immigrant and refugee families in our sanctuary at UUSS. Snacks at intermission! Funds raised from ticket sales will help us receive a challenge grant of $8,000 from the UU Funding Program to support the five families who are working toward self-sufficiency and becoming full members of their new community.
ALSO, on Sundays we are receiving items they will need in the colder months. Contact for a list.
