What Can I Do?

First UU is a quilt, a tapestry, of all of our beloved members.  We are who we are because of who and what you bring to our community.  Thank you for what you have already done and for what you are doing now. Now, we need you to support this community financially, in whatever way feels right to you.  You will hear stories and reasons from our beloveds in the coming weeks.  Our members and friends are simply wonderful people.  We thank you for being generous.

Why Give to First UU?

First Unitarian Universalist Church of Richmond (“FUUR”) provides us all a treasured sanctuary, an affirming support system, a network of friends and a consistent refueling station for our minds and spirits. We hope you agree. Although we come with diverse life experiences and backgrounds, we find common ground in our values and covenants. We hope that you enjoy our unique and treasured community as a member or friend of this congregation. We must preserve it.  To that end, it is time for our annual demonstration of commitment to each other as we pool our resources together to sustain and grow the work of our beloved congregation. It is a ministry with physical assets and skilled employees that require financial support from each of us. We need money to maintain our operations and facilities and pay our selfless staff for their time and talents. There are several ways to make your financial commitment to FUUR:
