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.
For the month of July 2023, we choose North Louisiana Interfaith (a community organization of institutions of which All Souls is a member).
Interfaith allows our congregation to accomplish many things we could not do alone — at both the local and statewide level.
The organization is non-partisan and intentionally crosses lines of race, religion, geography, and political affiliation.
Most recently, we secured funding from the Caddo Parish Commission for two pilot locations of the Community Lighthouse Project here in Caddo Parish. Interfaith also launched a survey campaign to help emergency responders get to citizens in greatest need during the recent power outages.
