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 February 2025, we choose the Highland Center Ministries (All Souls is also a member organization of the Highland Center Ministries).
Along with the weekly Highland Blessing Dinner (where All Souls members volunteer on the first Thursday of each month), Highland Center Ministries provides:
- Clothing closets for all ages and genders
- Senior lunch on Tuesdays
- Thrift store with all kinds of bargains
- Partnership with Pelican Credit Union to help people avoid predatory lenders
- Home for St. Francis Episcopal Church for the Highlands
- Free tax preparation service for anyone making $67,000 or less annually
And the Highland Center Ministries makes its home in the Highland Center building which houses Basic Necessities (a diaper and period products bank), the Goldman School, Louisiana Advocates for Immigrants in Detention, and some small local business start-ups.
