WORKING TOGETHER FOR JUSTICE AND MERCY
Engaging in mission and outreach.
During my time working with the youth at First Congregational United Church of Christ is Dubuque, we have paired with a local non-profit, Resources Unite. The youth have taken on a project called "The Kitchen Cupboard" they take in donations of kitchen items and create boxes for people in the area who are starting over and need basic kitchen items. Individuals in needs contact Resources Unite and they refer appropriate individuals to the church program. The goal is to eventually use the church as the pick up site for these boxes however construction has rendered that impossible. We also had a mattress drive for Resources Unite and partnered with the local yoga studio I have been teaching at for the past 8 years. Any one who donated a mattress was entered into a drawing to win a free year of yoga! We have also participated in the Resources Unite Christmas Party for two years in a row and plan to participate in their Back to School party this summer.
