December Share the Plate: Unitarian Universalist Service Committee Guest At Your Table Program

Our Share the Plate partner for December is the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee Guest At Your Table Program. UUSC works around the world to promote human rights and social justice, transforming our UU values into action. GNUUC has a long history of supporting UUSC; this is our 25th year of participating in the Guest at Your Table program. This year, our main fundraiser for UUSC will be through our Share the Plate program.

GNUUC shares donations equally with our monthly Share the Plate recipients: cash and checks written to GNUUC with “Share the Plate” written on the memo line go to this program. When you make your Share the Plate donations (whether cash or check) in December, please use the envelope provided in your order of service, so that we may count contributions toward UUSC memberships (any amount qualifies).

Separate from Share the Plate, at the service on December 1, Stories of Hope booklets will be distributed containing four stories about four inspiring women leaders from UUSC partner organizations. Children in the RE program will be able to take home Guest at Your Table boxes to keep at their dinner table throughout December and feed with coins as they learn about the people in the Stories. Money collected from these boxes will go to UUSC. Additionally, all proceeds from our lunch on December 22 will go to UUSC.

The theme for this year’s Guest at Your Table program is Women Leaders, Strong Communities. UUSC partners with 50 women-led organizations around the world. Since its founding, UUSC’s work has been shaped and sustained by women’s leadership. Today, UUSC is proud to partner with women leaders who are increasing representation for women in their communities, while strengthening access to justice for all. During this year’s Guest at Your Table program, please join us to learn more about women leaders from UUSC partner organizations taking on some of today’s greatest human rights challenges.
