February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. CORA will be the
recipient for our February Share the Plate Offering. Jennifer Kozicki, a
representative from CORA, will join us to discuss CORA’s services and
how they help survivors of domestic violence in our community.

Intimate partner abuse affects our entire community: one in four
women, one in seven men and one in two transgender individuals here
in San Mateo County will experience domestic violence in their
lifetime. With numbers like this, it’s all but certain that someone we
know well has experienced domestic violence… even if they’ve never
told us.

CORA is the only agency in San Mateo County solely dedicated to
helping those affected by intimate partner abuse. From counseling, to
emergency housing, to legal assistance, their services are designed to
provide safety, support, and healing.
Through our Share the Plate offering this week, we at UUFRC can help
CORA meet our community’s clear and pervasive need.

Online donations can be made from the Friday before the service through the Tuesday following the service, using link https://www.uufrc.org/community/giving/ and writing “Share the Plate” in the memo line. Please make donations via charitable giving accounts (e.g. Donor Advisory Funds) payable to “UUFRC” and put the Share the Plate recipient name in the memo line. On the Sunday of the collection, all donations, unless otherwise specified, go to Share the Plate.
