Find non-profits who do great work for East Shore to support with a monthly offering. Our Share the Plate team selects potential recipients, bringing their important work in front of the congregation.
The recipients may provide direct services or focus on systemic concerns, and their scope may range from local to national and international issues. Areas targeted for giving include basic needs, education, emergency response, environment, health and welfare, human rights, neighborhoods/communities, and peace. We welcome interest in joining our Team, and invite members and friends to give generously to these worthy causes.
We know that religious spaces haven’t always been welcoming places for all people, especially when it comes to gender and sexuality. We are out to change that. East Shore Unitarian Church renewed their Welcoming Congregations status in 2023.
Welcoming Congregation Program helps us learn how to undo homophobia and transphobia in our hearts and minds, our congregations, and our communities.
The work of welcome is never done. Join us in doing this important work to make all feel welcome.
Help other women and girls in our own community and worldwide in a variety of ways. These include support, such as donating supplies and cooking monthly meals, for local homeless women at The Sophia Way Shelter. Women Helping Women (WHW) continues to partner with friends at MAPS to work on an international project for women and girls that has been vetted by UUSC. Volunteers have started another year of tutoring at Lake Hills Elementary School. Opportunities are available in the reading program, the art room, and the bilingual program. WHW provides other ongoing and one-time projects as needed.
