Each month we dedicate all of our non-pledge income to a community organization doing the work that best embodies our Unitarian Universalist values.
For the month of October 2025, we choose Highland Center Ministries (All Souls is a partner congregation for the Highland Center Ministries).
Our give away the plate contributions go toward our yearly pledge to help sustain these ministries, which include:
- The Highland Blessing Dinner
- A weekly low-cost Senior Lunch
- Clothing closets for all ages
- Free VITA tax preparation services for all individuals and families making $55,000 per year or less
- A partnership with Pelican Credit Union to provide low cost loans that help keep people from going to payday lenders
- A First-Time Home Buyers Program
- The Highland Thrift Store
