Share the Plate
A few years ago, our congregation decided to share each week's offering with a non-profit partner whose programs and values are in line with Unitarian Universalism. Each January, the congregation nominates and then votes for non-profits in Wyoming. 12 are selected for the year. Each receives half of the offering for a month, and has the opportunity to visit and educate our congregation and friends about the work they do during services.
We are excited to offer videos this year highlighting our Share the Plate Partners, courtesy of Midnight West Productions. Check back each month for a new one!
January:
Minister's Discretionary Fund
The Minister's Discretionary Fund allows UUCC's minister to respond to immediate needs of congregants, and, occasionally, community members who are in need. The help provided might include paying a critical bill, or providing a gas card so the person can get to an interview, or a grocery card to tide over a family facing unexpected expenses.
February:
Wyoming Equality
Wyoming Equality strives to achieve equity for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit, and queer Wyomingites by building broad and inclusive communities, shifting the hearts and minds of our neighbors, and achieving policy victories.
March: Juntos
The mission of Juntos is to educate, organize and advocate with people of all backgrounds to eradicate discrimination and inequality in all its forms. Juntos is committed to building power at the local level to address unjust actions and policies throughout the State of Wyoming that target the immigrant community.
Our vision is a State of Wyoming where every individual, regardless of their identity or background, enjoys equality, respect, and dignity.
