Holiday Cards of Remembrance

Please plan to write messages and/or create holiday greeting cards for our own older friends and homebound members when you stop by UUCB to drop off food or financial donations for the Richmond Emergency Food Pantry and warm items for the GRIP clothing drive. 

We’ll be in the rear parking lot near the food drive area with tables with markers and blank and commercial cards. We will also have Elders’ addresses you may take with you, as we have with our holiday card display in the Atrium pre Covid. 

Please contact Melissa Rosales or Barbara Cullinane for more information.
