Share the Plate

CUUF Supports Community:

Our monthly ‘Share the Plate’ services support the local community every year from September to July.

What happens at a Share the Plate service?

During our Share the Plate services, CUUF does something special:

Instead of collecting regular offerings for our fellowship, all non-pledged donations go directly to a local nonprofit or community organization.

These organizations are our Share the Plate Recipients—groups whose work reflects our values and priority social justice issues. Recipients are nominated by CUUF’s Social Justice Team and elected by the congregation at our annual meeting each June.

Priority social justice issues for 2025 – 2026:

Food Security; Indigenous Rights; Immigrant Rights; Family DV / Housing Security; Women’s Reproductive Rights; Climate & Environmental; and, Anti-Racism / BIPOC.
