Social Justice

We regularly provide support for certain Topeka organizations and for our own activities including:

  • Harvesters – Contact Bill Lucero  lucerolb@cox.net
    • UUFT participates at Harvesters each month on the 1st Saturday between 9 and 11 a.m. This is a great activity to share with your child.  We accept volunteers who are at least 8 years old.  We ask that grade school/ middle school kids be accompanied by an adult. If you can join us, please respond to my monthly email. For more information, please call me at 232-5958.  Bill Lucero

Congregational members may contribute items or money to support this effort. The first Sunday of each month, the red wagon will be parked at the front of Scanland Hall to receive items you wish to donate.
