Remember to offset the carbon emitted from your holiday flights or car travel with a donation to help pay for WBUUC’s solar addition! The solar panels cost $78,000; we received a federal rebate of $23,800 and approx. $45,000 donated in carbon offsets by our generous WBUUC community to date. Another $10,000 in carbon offset donations and the solar panels will be paid off!

Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 | Social Hall

WBUUC has long been a strong supporter of the Center. In the past two years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of youth needing help. Warm winter clothing is greatly needed - coats, hats, gloves and mittens, with a particular need for plus-size clothing. Leave donations in the cart in the Social Hall. Your generosity and continued support of the Center are deeply appreciated.

We would be honored to name your joy or sorrow or life event during our Sunday morning meditation so that our community can know about your concern and hold it with you. As the Swedish proverb goes, “Shared joy is double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow.”
