Redirecting Our Tithes

Although we at the EUUF do not tithe in the traditional sense, twice each month we make a congregational donation to a different carefully vetted 501(c)(3) organization in our area whose good works align with the values of Unitarian Universalism. These organizations are announced every month.  We call this Redirecting our Tithes.

Thank you to all who have donated! If you know of any organization  needing assistance at this time, please feel free to share that information with Barbara Khan, Social Action Chair via email at khans4@sbcglobal.net.

Please continue to send your donations to the EUUF at 17 Elk Street or use the following link to make a donation on-line:

Our September tithes will be going to ...

CCSC Meals on Wheels

The Meals on Wheels program faced significant disruption and concern due to a temporary freeze on federal grants- accounting for 37% of their funding - early this year. The freeze was later rescinded and the program was ultimately not canceled. As it stands, Congress has extended funding for aging services programs through September 30, 2025. However, proposals remain on the table that would cut funding for programs like nutrition services and senior employment.

We, at the EUUF consider Meals on Wheels to be a vital resource for the food insecure seniors in our community. For this reason, we will be donating an additional $250 to our local Carroll County Senior Center (CCSC) program.

ECHO Village

ECHO Village is a distinctive housing development that endeavors to provide affordable homes for low-income residents, including homeless, first-time jail offenders, and veterans.

In 2024 ECHO partnered with Safe To Be to build a home for unhoused gender diverse individuals.The ECHO Village community is thoughtfully designed to foster a sense of togetherness, with shared common grounds and a focus on community living. They strongly encourage residents to share their talents with one another, creating a supportive and enriching environment for all. 

ECHO Village’s objective is to eventually provide 26 homes for those in need. As seen above, the first wall of house number 18 was raised in July! We at EUUF are proud to support ECHO Village’s efforts and will be providing another $250 donation on 9/23. See more about Echo Village housing project here.
