Partner Church Team, 5/11

The Partner Church Team wants to foster long-term, mutually supportive relationships with Unitarian and UU communities worldwide, promote the exchange of people and ideas, deepen understanding of faith, and strengthen human rights and religious freedom.

Will you help us grow into that mission? Can you help us develop a mission that speaks to our values at UUFC?

Please join us on Sunday, May 11 at 12:00 in the north end of the Social Hall. We will discuss completion of our tasks for this church year and will make the ground ready to sew new seeds for the Team’s future.

Outreach Offerings for May – Linn Benton Food Share

Linn Benton Food Share is the central food hub for a strong network of 68 local, non-profit agencies including emergency food box pantries, public meal sites, at-risk population programs and gleaning groups, which collectively distribute over 3 million pounds of food annually.

The food pantries in Alsea, Monroe and Philomath need a little boost since cuts to the USDA March 2025 affected 30%-40% of their food sources. Approximately 400 families, mostly children, are dependent on these pantries for their food sources.
