Share the Plate Offering
UUCF shares half of its weekly offering with a nonprofit doing work consistent with UUCF’s mission. The Share the Plate recipient for November is Centreville United Methodist Church Food Ministries, an outreach program that serves low-income families in the local community. Once a month, the ministry distributes groceries at a local library. On another day each month, families receive groceries, clothing, diapers, household linens, toys, and children’s books. The ministry also provides some job training opportunities. DONATE HERE.
