Charities of the Month
_____________________________________________
UUFSM gives to charity and worthy causes an amount equal to 10% of pledged donations from members and friends. Cash donations during the Sunday offerings are sent to charities. If, at the end of the fiscal year, we have not reached out 10% goal, money is taken from the general operating fund. We also conduct food and gift drives.
Suggestions for Charity of the Month should be made to the Board of Trustees.
