Community Plate
What is the Community Plate?
Every two months our congregation provides support for a community partner who we believe shares our values. We encourage our congregants to learn more about these organizations and actively volunteer in the work they do.
On the first Sunday of each month, that month’s partner is invited to send a representative to the Sunday service or provide a video highlighting their work. Then throughout the month we accept donations that go directly to the organization. The Community Plate Committee of our Justice Ministry recommends the agencies or projects.
Use the Donate link on the menu and select Community Plate to make an electronic donation.
