Community Organizations in Need of Support During COVID-19

​We have a legacy of “deeds not creeds.” Our work for a better world calls us to unexpected places as we harness love’s power...These words from the Justice & Inclusion page of the UUA website remind us of what it means to be fully aware of  circumstances in our community and how we might be of service.  As our local community agencies ramp up to provide basic needs for all of us in this time crisis, let us expand our tradition of community support as much as possible.  In addition to the groups that we already support, individually and collectively, we have listed below a few that have come to our recent attention.  This list is also on the Social Action page of our website.  If you would like to include other agencies, please let us know.
