Our Fellowship’s mission statement asks us to “act on our UU Principles to improve our community locally and globally through social action and outreach.” Once a month, during the worship service, we take up a Special Collection for
a local, national or international organization that exemplifies one or more
UU Principles. UUFES members and friends suggest causes or organizations to be considered by the Community Support team, which coordinates this outreach. Special Collections recipients include:
