Upcoming Events & Announcements
Lunch Angels Program

Volunteering with Lunch Angels is a great opportunity to literally "serve" those of the community in need of a good, healthy meal...while getting to know fellow UUFF’ers!
UUFF's Lunch Angels group is assigned to provide meals (hosted at Genesis Church on MLK Jr. Blvd) one Saturday a month on varying months and consistently over the summer. Each time, we need several folks to make casseroles and several more to help serve. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up via the link provided in the weekly email (for nearest serve date) or on the hard copy sheet on the activities table in the foyer. You can contact Gretchen Wilkes ( gwilkes@farmcards.org ) for more information or to sign up in advance.

Remaining 2018 serve dates are : May 19 , June 16, July 21, August 18, October 20.
<-- Has Anyone Seen this Banner?
Hey Folks! We have the Pride Parade coming up soon (June 16th) , and we cannot seem to locate the smaller "UUFF Side of Love" banner, seen in picture to left. The picture is from Pride Parade 2017, and that may in fact be the last time we saw the banner! If ANYONE knows where it might be, please let us know. Or if you find it (check vehicle trunk, garage corners, etc.), please drop it off at the UUFF Office asap-- no harm, no foul! THANKS!!
