Our give-away-the-plate recipient for May 2022 is the United Way of Northwest Louisiana.
Each month we dedicate all of our non-pledge income to an organization doing the work that best embodies our Unitarian Universalist principles and values.
This time-honored national organization works locally to help children succeed in school, beginning with their participation in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, giving free books to children from birth to age 5 throughout the region, and continuing throughout the school years with support for each phase of the academic journey through graduation and beyond.
Their Bank On Northwest Louisiana program provides banking services and low-cost loans to underbanked individuals to help them avoid the payday lenders and improve their financial stability.
They have programs to improve access to health care for children and adults, and they work to meet immediate needs of people in crisis, whether from natural disasters or more personal crises such as domestic abuse.
