Okland Partner Church

The UUFA continues to support its sister congregation and its missions. In the past, we have helped to establish a bakery and a dairy and helped to repair and maintain buildings. In 2018, our Share the Plate contributions went towards providing stipends for five students. Two of the students are attending the Unitarian seminary and three students are attending university.

Children of the Okland Church

The UUFA honors our Transylvanian roots and the 25+ year relationship with Okland with the renovation of the Fellowship building, one room has been dedicated to this 25-year relationship and our Transylvanian roots. The former sofa room is now named the Kleiner Heritage Room. Maps, pictures, books, ceramics, and many other items are now held in this room and given a place of importance. Please come in and check it out.

Share the Plate / Cause-of-the-Month: Dignidad Inmigrante en Athens (DIA)

During May Dignidad Inmigrante en Athens (DIA), an Athens organization with a mission to create and promote spaces for the liberation of undocumented immigrants in the United States, will receive one half of all undesignated offerings. For details contact justice@uuathensga.org

Help with Food Insecurity

Please continue to bring non-perishable food items to Fellowship Hall’s wicker baskets. While all CANtributions are appreciated, in May the Athens Area Emergency Food Bank is especially in need of white rice, Hamburger Helper, and dried pinto beans. To give by credit card, visit uuathensga.org/give and look for “Charitable Giving.” To give by check, make the check out to UUFA and put “CANtributions 1-8016” in the memo line. To learn more, contact  justice@uuathensga.org. If you are experiencing food insecurity or know someone in our UUFA community who is, please contact Rev. Pippin (revpippin@uuathensga.org).
