SPECIAL SUNDAY COLLECTIONS – Monte Vista Unitarian Universalist Congregation continues to be a generous congregation. We do not gather all your gifts for ourselves, but for the world. Toward that end, the Justice Team selects several worthy causes each year for our special SHARE THE PLATE collection. MVUUC gives half of undesignated donations in our collection to the selected organization.
Do you have a suggestion for MVUUC’s monthly Share the Plate collection recipient?
If you have a suggestion of a 501(c)(3) organization that the Justice Team ought to consider for our SHARE THE PLATE collection, kindly submit your request in writing to any member of the Justice Team or to our Office Administrator at officeadmin@montevistauu.org
Please include:
- Name, Address, Contact information of the organization
- Your affiliation and history with the organization
- Why we should consider this organization? (i.e., how does it reflect our UU values?)
- How would funds we donate be used?
- How others may become involved in the organization, if they so choose?
