Monthly FISH Donations

During the first Sunday service of each month we take a collection for F.I.S.H., a local food bank.  If you would like to donate money or items to the F.I.S.H. food bank project, here is a list of products frequently ask for:

*Toilet Paper

*Diapers

*Baby food - no glass jars please

*Pork and Beans

*Canned Fruit

*Canned Vegetables

*Canned soup - especially chicken noodle

*Boxed Macaroni and Cheese

*Money donated to F.I.S.H. is used to pay for things like eggs, milk, and to supplement utility and prescriptions drug expenses.

Guest at Your Table (GAYT)

The Nov./Dec. 2005 GAYT collection raised $723.92 for the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC).  This is the primary source of fundraising for the UUSC. The UUSC is an independent human rights organization whose work is grounded in UU principles.  More information can be found on the UUSC website.
 

Relief Efforts for Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma

The Church held two fundraisers for the Darke County Chapter of the American Red Cross hurricane relief efforts raising over $1500.  In September 2005 a Pampered Chef party raised over $500 (consultant Brenda Edger generously donated her commission).  The Fall Benefit Concert in November 2005 raised over $1000 (Jim's Red Pants and Ann & Phil Case donated the proceeds from the sale of their CDs).
