The ASJ Committee would like to thank WUUC’s members and friends for their generous support of our monthly special collections. These collections take place during services on the third Sunday of every month. Instructions for giving are posted during the service, and you can also donate anytime the following week at https://onrealm.org/wuuc/-/give/now, or by sending a check to WUUC at P.O. Box 111, Woodinville, WA 98072. Please make checks out to WUUC and write “ASJ Special Collection” in the notes.
Our next special collection will be on Oct. 18, for the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition. FRRC is a grassroots, membership organization run by Returning Citizens (Formerly Convicted Persons) who are dedicated to ending the disenfranchisement and discrimination against people with convictions, and creating a more comprehensive and humane reentry system that will enhance successful reentry, reduce recidivism, and increase public safety. For more information, go to www.FloridaRRC.org.
Although we moved to online services in late March, we’ve demonstrated that we’re still dedicated to supporting our values with our money! Below is a list of the special collections from April to August.
April ~ Climate Justice ~ $465
May ~ Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism (BLUU) ~ $755
June ~ Equal Justice Initiative ~ $1,225
July ~ People for Puget Sound ~ $365
August ~ JUUstice Washington ~ $390
Additionally, the ASJ Committee voted to support the East Shore Unitarian Church’s homeless men’s shelter, taking place the month of October, with a donation of $200. We are proud to be members of a church that so generously supports the essential work of many organizations!
