Opportunities for Giving
Because of the pandemic, we aren’t having our annual mitten tree this year, but we are still collecting NEW items for residents of local shelters, including underwear, socks, gloves, hats, toiletries, and more. We are also collecting gently USED winter clothing for our neighbors served by Grace Church's outreach program. Drop items off outside CUUC's doors, using our bins for small new items, and plastic bags for clothes. New and used items must be kept separate! Please use large white plastic bags and clearly mark "Used" or "New." Learn more HERE. Contact: Ray Messing (914-592-4497) |

Cooking for HOPE
6700 and Counting. Wow! Since May, CUUC volunteers have cooked hot meals and filled lunch bags for an estimated 6700 guests of New Rochelle’s HOPE Community Services soup kitchen. Over these 29 weeks, our Hunger & Homelessness team - working both from home and in the CUUC kitchen - have assembled meal trays and sandwiches every week, together preparing some 1100 lbs of chicken, 600 lbs of vegetables, 4000 turkey and cheese sandwiches, and have cooked, peeled, and transformed 720 dozen eggs into egg salad sandwiches. Together on a mission, CUUC families and individuals have shopped, planned, cooked, and delivered, while donating generously to pay for it all. We even have contributions from dedicated friends who do not attend CUUC! It is an amazing demonstration of what we can do when we do it together. ♥

Annual Appeal
In November we make our once-a-year appeal for financial donations to the Ecumenical Emergency Food Pantry of White Plains. Since March, the number of people served has soared and it is now estimated that one in five in our county are nutrition insecure. Learn more HERE. Mail checks to CUUC with the memo “Food Pantry.” Or to pay online at cucwp.org, click the yellow Donate button, then "Use this donation for," select "Other," and type in the Note "Food Pantry." A small percentage of online donations go to PayPal fees; you may choose to increase your donation by a few dollars to compensate. Contact: John Cavallero (jcwpny@gmail.com)

Share the Plate for Nov: Ecumenical Food Pantry
This month we share half our non-pledge collection with the Ecumenical Emergency Food Pantry of White Plains. The Pantry was founded in 1979 by CUUC and four other congregations. Since March 2020, the Pantry has seen an emergency like never before. In addition to serving our neighbors who are poorest, the Pantry now serves folks who had been income secure until the Covid-19 economic disaster changed everything. Please join us in supporting this vital community organization. You may mail in your check with the memo "Food Pantry" or donate online at cucwp.org. Learn more HERE.
