At the UU Fellowship of Redwood City, we strive to be good neighbors and helpful friends. We partner or work with many worthy charitable organizations and schools, to further promote their mission. We appreciate our connections with our community and reach out with helping hands.

Distributing Food to Hungry Families

Second Harvest of Silicon Valley relies on volunteers to distribute food to families here in San Mateo County and they need the support of the community more than ever before! Every month we help Second Harvest distribute food at the following neighborhood location:

Fourth Saturday, 7:15-9:30 AM: Yaseen Foundation, 621 Masonic Way, Belmont, CA 94002.

If you would like to volunteer, contact socialaction@uufrc.org.

Sharing the Plate with Our Neighbors

Each year since 2006, the Social Action Committee solicits nominations for non-profit organizations to which the UU Fellowship will give one week’s Sunday collection. Usually they are local organizations in which one or more of our members is actively involved. After the annual meeting, members and friends choose which groups will receive funds during the upcoming year.

Each month during the year, one of the selected organizations provides a brief presentation during the service and a collection is taken for their cause.

The following 10 organizations were selected for 2025 – 2026:

•  Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse

•  Faith in Action Bay Area

•  Fools Mission

•  Kara

•  One Life Counseling Center

•  St. Francis Center of Redwood City

•  Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley

•  Sequoia High School Dream Club

•  Sonrisas Dental Health

•  Upward Scholars
