In months with 5 Sundays, UCF collects money for a non-profit organization (usually local) that is chosen by the Social Action Committee. The month of January had five Sundays and you all donated an amazing $1,540.08 for local food pantries!

This donation is being split across eight Carteret County food pantries and comes at a time when resources are stretched to help those living with food insecurity and hunger. Our UCF donation to local food pantries allows them to determine their most immediate needs including food, toiletries, paper goods and the purchase of food through the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC at $0.19 per pound.

Thanks to our congregation’s incredible generosity and for their continued commitment to living UCF’s vision “to be a visible presence in the community, growing a just world through spiritual enrichment, compassionate action, and free religious inquiry.”
