The
special collection taken in May will go toward buying our yearly farm
share from Butler Farms. We donate the vegetables that we buy with our
share to Helpline House, which distributes them to families in need. We
will pick up vegetables once a week at Butler Farms during the growing
season, and are looking for people who would be willing help pick up and
then deliver them to Helpline House. If you are interested, please contact
Karolynn Flynn.
The
Opportunity Fair was a fun way to share all that Social Action is involved
with. We displayed a map of the world with pins indicating all the places
that we have helped serve, from Pakistan to Chili; from Japan to Darfur.
We appreciate those who signed up to work on special projects. We'll be
calling you as things come up.
We expect
that our annual service day at Helpline House, on May 21 will be a big
success. Each year Helpline House counts on Cedars to do its spring
cleaning. After May 21, it should be in fine form.

Super Suppers
We are seeing a steady increase in the numbers of people coming to our
Super Supper at the end of each month. We now serve between 25 and 30
persons per meal. It is our wish that all will be fed, and no one will be
turned away hungry. We are seeking to increase the number of volunteers
that will bring food each month. The Cedars Choir signed up six people to
bring food and to help with set up and clean up in March. Is your
committee ready to step up and help? Please contact the
Super Suppers coordinator.

Our Mission:
“The Social Action Committee believes
that a commitment to social justice is a natural extension of both our
fellowship's mission statement and the Unitarian Universalist principles.
We further believe that integrated and coordinated social action is
integral to the life and growth of our fellowship. Our mission,
therefore, is to identify and facilitate involvement in social action
projects to which we can make a positive and substantive contribution.”
