An important way in which the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Richmond and its members and friends participate in community outreach is Share the Plate (STP).  A core value of the congregation is being engaged and making a positive difference in the larger community, with a focus on three of our key values of justice, transformation, and generosity.

Each Sunday’s offering for a full calendar month (that is not specifically designated for other purposes) is equally divided between the church and an organization that merits support.  This could be a Richmond-area community organization, a Unitarian-Universalist group, another religiously affiliated group, or a secular worthy cause. Generally, no organization can be a beneficiary more than once every three years. 

Share the Plate is accepting applications for nominees

If you are interested in submitting a nomination, please be sure to read the eligibility requirements, as some of them have changed over the past few months. The STP committee welcomes such nominations; it carefully vets nominees and selects those it finds best align with our UU values, a summary of which can be found here. If you have any questions, please contact us at sharetheplate@richmonduu.org
