February’s Share the Plate has a Matching Challenge to Create a UUCOD Scholarship for Safe Schools Desert Cities.
Our beloved community will have the unique opportunity to sponsor its own scholarship for Safe Schools Desert Cities. Two members have generously issued a $500 matching challenge to fully fund a $1000 scholarship. This means if we collect $500 from the offering, they will match it with $500. If we raise a minimum of $1000, a scholarship will be listed as sponsored by UUCOD. How cool is that!
Join us as we view a portion of the Virtual 21st Annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival.
We will view CommUNITY, a package of eight short films with the intention of inspiring solutions to restore the earth and human communities. The films visit diverse communities and share their solutions to the environmental challenges that they face.
