Special Offering Collection - March 21

3/17/2021

This Sunday our special offering collection will be for the Soup Kitchen which, in response to the COVID pandemic, is currently serving drive-through to-go meals three days a week. The need is great; they served over 11,000 meals, of which 1,300 were for children, in the last three months. You can donate online to the Social Justice Fund on our website or checks can be sent to our treasurer made out to UUFCM with “Soup Kitchen” indicated in the memo line.

Where to Donate Your Stimulus Check

2/17/2021

Recently, when each of our local agencies was asked if their need was currently in emergency status, all indicated that they were making it but that donations are still welcomed because of the increased need of their guests. If you are a person who really does not have a need for your stimulus check but has received it anyway, follow your heart’s lead in determining where you would like to donate your money. Here is A Guide to Helping and Getting Help During the Coronavirus Crisis. It lists ways to give, how to get help, and how to help in other ways in your community.

Food: Soup Kitchen
Food Pantry

Homeless shelter: ICRH

Health Products: Care Store

Clothing: Clothing, INC

Domestic Violence: R.I.S.E.

We want to thank everyone who donated so generously to the CMU Student Pantry. From our donations we were able to give the pantry a couple of cases of canned goods, and about a dozen bags of non-perishable foods. We had $730 dollars in gift cards, checks and cash donations too. They were shocked and very grateful for our generosity, and they'll be able to help many students because of all of us.

The ICRH homeless shelter is open and we are scheduled to provide food this coming week of November 22-28. We have participated as a “partner” church since the shelter opened. We provide a main dish, side dishes, salads, soups, desserts, and whatever else people want to provide for dinners. If you can prepare food but are not able to take it to the shelter, we can transport the food for you.

If you are willing and able to help, please contact Joyce Henricks (joyce.henricks@cmich.edu; 989-400-9743) as soon as possible so that she can coordinate the meals!
