From September to June, our Society donates each month to a Dedicated Offering recipient and splits every Sunday’s offering plate 50/50 with the recipient organization.

Our Dedicated Offerings for the month of December will be for the UU Church of Asheville, North Carolina, to help with disaster relief from Hurricane Helene.

Though the church is located on a hill and only received tree damage, many parts of the town and surrounding area are still badly damaged and need our support.  In particular the mobile home park near the river was totally wiped out, and well as the River Arts District next to the river.

The Asheville Church will welcome our donations and distribute them appropriately to the areas that are most badly damaged.

The Dedicated Offering Committee selects non-profit organizations that our Society will support with donations from our Sunday collections. We solicit UUSA’s members for names of organizations through a form which is available in the office and on-line here. A representative of the chosen organization is asked to speak about it, usually on the first Sunday of the month. We welcome new members. If you are interested in learning more or joining DOC, please contact Anne Perkins, Mary Beth Seminario, Linda Callahan, or Carolyn Holstein.
