Charitable Giving for February 2012
“We do not gather our gifts only for ourselves but to share with the larger community.”
Continuing our practice of sharing our gifts with the community beyond our walls, the recipient of fifty percent (50%) of our Sunday plate collections for the month of February will be the Operation Fuel
Operation Fuel is a private, non-profit organization that provides emergency energy assistance to state residents who do not qualify for government assistance. Most clients are not poor enough to receive government aid but, because of a crisis in their lives, cannot make ends meet and are forced to make impossible choices. Trying to survive a Connecticut winter with no heat should not be one of their choices. Operation Fuel uses a network of over 60 community organizations that provide grants to pay the utility bills of households in need.
Checks made out to Unitarian Universalist Society: East will be treated as follows:
If the memo line:
- is blank or “pledge” is written, all will go toward our pledge.
- has “COM” or the name of the charity is on the memo line, all will go the charity.
- has “1/2 pledge, 1/2 COM,” it will be divided equally.
The committee overseeing our community outreach efforts welcomes your comments and suggestions.
