Thank you to all the members of UUCT who submitted a Share The Plate request. It is clear that our congregation supports many worthy causes in our community.

This year, as part of our revitalization, we surveyed the congregation for their priorities. The results were clear: locally based, hunger, housing, race, and environment were the services most supported by UUs. We shortened the application and lengthened the submittal time. We asked for clarification on five applicants. We ended up with thirteen organizations.

We are pleased to announce that your Share The Plate funds will be supporting:

Big Bend Homeless Coalition, Bob Deyle

City Walk Urban Mission, Amy Doyle

Food Not Bombs, Rei Meyers

Grace Mission, Carolyn Pardue and Maggie Bowden

Humanists of Tallahassee, Warren Brackmann

Indaba Theater of Florida, Aun-Drey Brown

Kearney Center, Karen Share

Manna on Meridian, Carolyn Pardue

NAACP Local Chapter, Ed Oaksford

Re Think Energy, Kim Ross

Second Harvest, Carolyn Pardue

Tallahassee Community Action Committee, Robin Gray

Tallahassee Food Network, Rosa Morgan

We are developing the schedule and will publish it as soon as it is approved by the board. In the meantime, feel free to contact any of the applicants to learn more about the organization[s] they are passionate about, learn how you can get involved with them, and consider your funding priorities for the next year.

And thanks to the task force for their year-long commitment to the Share The Plate program: Marty Beech, Rev. Holly Brown, Rosa Morgan, Karen Share, Janet Temkin, and Linda Wright.
