Social Justice, April 2018

Undie Sunday, April 29: As done in the past, we will have our annual UNDIE SUNDAY on the last Sunday in April, which gives you the opportunity to donate packaged underwear, as well as socks and pajamas, to the residents of the GRIP (Greater Richmond Interfaith Program) Family Shelter. This tradition is one of the many ways that UUCB has lovingly supported GRIP over the years. So please bring your gifts of packaged underwear, socks and/or pajamas for men, women, and children, and put them in the collection basket next to the Social Justice table. BTW, your donations don’t have to be limited to underwear—any clothing for the GRIP residents would be most appreciated. Thank you. If you have questions about this, contact Ray Westergard.
