Share-the-Plate for Oct. 19: The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee

The UUSC is committed to advancing human rights in our troubled world. UUSC focuses on four major program areas to carry out our efforts to advance human rights and social justice.

The UUSC works in partnership with local grassroots organizations in the United States and around the world, standing with communities as they confront unjust power structures and challenge oppressive policies. In each program area, they focus especially on issues of race, class, and gender and their roles in perpetuating injustice and human rights abuses.

The First Unitarian Church of Orlando designates one Sunday per month as “Share-the-Plate” Sunday, on which the non-pledge worship service collections are split evenly between FUCO and a designated non-profit group (501c3) whose mission is consistent with that of FUCO and/or the UUA. Members or groups within the congregation may make nominations for a designee, with the final decision being approved by the Board of Trustees.
