Sunday May 25th was our last Share The Plate for FY25 and we are pleased to report that our congregation has donated a total of $2,408.55 to our five recipients for this year: UUA Disaster Relief Fund, World Central Kitchen, Pink Haven, Mill City Grows, and Merrimack Valley Food Bank. This does not include any donations folks made directly to these organizations online.
Â
First Parish also donated food and money at our annual Thanksgiving Ingathering Service for Open Pantry of Greater Lowell in November, and in May received a Faith in Action Grant for $500 to donate for Open Pantry to extend more support to Merrimack Valley families this summer.
Thank you so much for your generosity!
Acknowledgment letters from the recipients can be viewed on the bulletin board in the vestry.
We are always looking for ideas for Share the Plate organizations. If you have a suggestion for a future share-the-plate recipient please contact the Council of Faith in Action Ministries (CFAM) at cfam@uuchelmsford.org
