Social Action Committee

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.”
