November’s Share-the-Plate recipient is Kara, a counseling and grief education organization that helps people reclaim lives of peace and meaning following the death of a loved one.

Each year, Kara serves approximately 6000 people in the greater Bay Area, offering one-on-one counseling, more than 60 specialized support groups, workshops, special events, a summer camp for kids, community outreach, crisis response and grief education to adults, families, teens and children. Services are free of charge; many are offered in Spanish. A large corps of trained volunteers enables the breadth and reach of the services.

Donations can be made from the Friday before the service through the Tuesday following the service, using PayPal 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.
