How to donate to the monthly Outreach Offering

by

Each month, the Fellowship gathers donations for a certain charitable cause. These are our Outreach Offerings. You can contribute to this month’s offering in a few ways:

  1. Give to the Sunday collection plate
  2. Donate online
  3. Donate to the refreshments during the social hour

The Social Concerns team donate an assortment of sweet and savory refreshments, including gluten-free and vegan choices, for our enjoyment at the social hour following Sunday worship. These items are purchased and prepared by the team to encourage donations to the Outreach Offering. Collection baskets are always found at the end of the refreshments table. The next time you’re eyeing something tasty on the table, consider putting a donation in the basket first to show how much you appreciate having that treat ready and waiting for you!

Outreach Offerings for October

Our Outreach offerings in October support South Corvallis Food Bank, which is a shopping-style food pantry offering a 5-day supply of food to households every other week. Partnered with Linn-Benton Food Share & Oregon Food Bank, the Food Bank strives to increase food-security in our community through compassionate care.

October 5, 2025 – Learning to be a Neighbor in the Land of the People of the River

by

Dave Eckert of the Canoe Family Project and the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition will speak about his experience building relationships with landcestral cultures, and how that has helped him to better understand and act in ways that bridge cultural divides.  Like many of us, Dave grapples with avoiding cultural appropriation and cultural guilt.  UUFC has been able to contribute to the Canoe Project through our Justice Outreach Fund.

UUFC Holiday Fair, 12/6

by

Save the Date

It’s that time of year again to start thinking about the Holiday Fair! This year’s fair will be on Saturday, December 6th from 9 AM to 3 PM at the Fellowship. All are welcome – UUFC members, friends, and the larger community (including Albany, Adair, Independence, Lebanon, Alsea, and Philomath). This event builds connections between UUFC and the larger community, plus it’s a ton of fun!

UUFC Vendors Wanted

Are you interested in being an artisan vendor for this event? If so, please email holiday.fair@uucorvallis.org and tell us what you wish to sell by October 5.

Many Volunteers Needed

We will need people to post flyers around the community, bakers for the baked goods sale, swag makers, people to donate pots of soup for the café, greeters, musicians who will play for one hour in the foyer, cashiers, respite givers for the vendors, and people to help out with kids activities. Sign up opportunities coming soon.

No Kings Protest, 10/18

by

Join us on Saturday, October 18 at 12 PM at the Benton County Courthouse for the No Kings protest!

A little worried about recent developments? What we know is that the only way out of this slide to dictatorship is for everyone to get involved. THAT is what has stopped a tyrant. And only that. No one else is going to save us, as much as we watch and hope things will change. So WE must make the 18th the largest protest ever on the planet. So each ONE bring ONE (or ten) to the October 18th protest.
