Special Collections

​

Unitarian Universalist congregations center social justice values. At UUFES, we act on our UU values to improve our community locally and globally through social action and outreach. ​In the spirit of meaningful social outreach, we take up a monthly Special Collection for a non-profit that exemplifies the UU values. UUFES members and friends suggest causes or organizations to be considered by the Community Support team, which coordinates this outreach.
