The practice of sharing a portion of the Sunday collection with a non-profit organization that reflects our Unitarian Universalist values of compassion and justice

As we approach 2023, it is time for a call for new nominations! We are asking that all past recipients resubmit a request for funding if you want your group included in 2023. All requests will be reviewed by the Operation Leads.

Our congregation has been so generous in past years. In times of crisis, YOU have stepped up and we so appreciate it.  Thank YOU!

Any member may nominate an organization to be considered by the Operation Leads. Our criteria for selection will continue to prioritize local organizations that serve South King County but we will also accept nominations that allow us to respond with support for emergencies, natural disasters, or pressing social issues, that serve a larger area: such as offerings for the UU Service Committee or UUA disaster relief fund. Minimal requirements are:

• Organization must be a 501 (c) 3 non-profit
• The organization’s mission must align with UU values and principles
• We prioritize organizations that serve South King County 

Due to our ongoing relationship to a few local organizations, we will continue to have an annual share the plate for Hospitality House and Federal Way Day Center. We will also have an annual share the plate for Duwamish Tribal Services, an expression of our commitment to live into right relationship with local indigenous communities. You do not need to submit a request for these organizations.
