Programs and activities
One important way that we act on our values as a congregation is through our monthly Generosity Offerings. Each month, our congregation gives 85% of our Sunday collection (not designated for the church) to a local organization working to create justice and compassion in our community. Our congregation has given away over thousands of dollars to local organizations working to create justice and compassion.
Generosity Offering Nominations
Every year, the Social Justice Ministry Team selects recipients of the monthly generosity offering from suggestions made by the congregation. To be considered, organizations must be non-UU local non-profits (with 501c3 status) that reflect UU values.
Highlights from organizations we've supported over the years
2019
In the spring of 2019, First UU made a Generosity Offering to SanDiego350 and the Interfaith Coalition for Earth Justice (ICEJ) to develop resources for outreach to faith communities. ICEJ used our Generosity Offering to create four videos for their website, social media and to be used in their outreach work. Take a look here.
ICEJ shared that they would not have been able to make the videos without First UU's help and want to THANK YOU for the generosity and largeness of heart that this offering represents.
