Our group has long talked about how it would like to do more volunteer work. I, personally, think that giving back to and working with the community is a key part of maintaining my own spiritual health. Eventually, I'd like our group to have 1 or 2 ongoing hands-on projects but I thought maybe we'd start small.
Urban Peak is in need to hats and gloves for homeless teens. The YA group will be heading up the drive at First U during November and December. If you don't have a lot of time during the holiday season you can contribute by simply dropping off a hat or pair of gloves. If you have a little more time and would help to organize or expand the drive email Amanda at amanda@firstuniversalist.org.
Interfaith Community Services is offering opportunities to sponsor a senior citizen or family for the holidays. I think it's be great if we adopted a family (they have opportunities as small or as large as we'd like). I know that budgets are tight over the holidays but this might be an easy way to come together and make a big difference for an individual or family. Again, contact amanda@firstuniversalist.org for more info.
