The Shared Offering Committee facilitated a zoom meeting on Sunday, December 5th to choose organizations aligned with our UU values that would receive the shared offering for January through November of 2022 (December is always reserved for our partners churches).
13 members of the church attended the meeting to select the organizations for 2022 and heard a two minute presentation by the person nominating the organizations, followed by a one minute Q&A.
The committee is happy to announce the 11 organizations that will receive 50% of the plate/online donations for the months designated below.
| Month | Organization |
|---|---|
| January | The Refugee Center |
| February | Champaign Urbana Schools Foundation (CUSF) |
| March | Women in Need Recovery (WIN Recovery) |
| April | RACES |
| May | The Lakota People's Law Project |
| June | Concerned Citizens of Carbondale |
| July | Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law |
| August | Education Justice Project |

The committee wishes to thank ALL the people who submitted organizations for consideration, and to those who attended the meeting. Every organization nominated is doing good work and we wish we could support them all. Remember that organizations can not be chosen 2 years in a row so please submit your organization again next year. The committee is small but mighty and we would like to invite others to join next year so we can be a even ‘mightier’. Please contact Pat McClard at patrickmcclard@gmail.com if you are interested.
Thank You,
Shared Offering Committee
