The Social Action Committee will hold an election in May to choose 10 organizations to receive a ‘Share the Plate’ collection in the coming year: July 2022 through June 2023. 

To be eligible to receive a special collection, the group must be a 501(c)3 charitable organization and the nominator must have some kind of personal involvement with the organization (member, volunteer, financial supporter, etc.). 

How to nominate your favorite worthy organization for a special collection at UUFRC:

Write a paragraph of 150 words or less describing the organization and email it to UUFRC’s Share The Plate Coordinator, Danielle Stagner (sharetheplate@uufrc.org), by Sunday, April 24.  (Please ask your computer to count the words.)  It helps to tell the charitable purposes of the organization and your own involvement with it.  Both UUFRC members and friends are eligible to nominate organizations. Based upon prior experience, it is best to nominate one charity, but we don’t have a rule prohibiting more.

To provide more information to our congregation, you might also want to include your organization’s web address. 

Our congregation has been very generous every year, giving donations ranging from hundreds to many thousands of dollars on Share-the-Plate Sundays. Your favorite organization can surely benefit from an infusion of funds, not to mention the knowledge that their work is valued.
