Service to the Homeless Shelter

There are two ways you can be of service to the men at the Homeless shelter.

Several men have moved into transitional housing and could use donations of the following types of items:

• beds with linens and blankets

• chests of drawers

• kitchen/dining table

• dishes

• pots and pans

• cutlery and kitchen implements

• towels

If anyone would like to contribute such items, please bring them to the intake center at 684 Forest Street in Dover.

Also, several of the men are reliable, hard-workers so if you have any projects such as painting or yard work, please consider hiring one or more of them. You arrange directly with them for compensation. 

To learn more about who can help you, please contact Shelter Manager Erich Gillespie on his cell phone (302) 387-7801. Any questions or concerns can be directed to Lisa Perelli, lisamarie62@yahoo.com.

Ethical Eating

Ethical Eating: Food and Environmental Justice is the current Congregational Study/Action Issue for all Unitarian Universalist congregations. This topic garnered the most votes at the 2008 national General Assembly as an issue for Unitarian Universalists to study, discuss and act upon. This process will take four years with the goal of raising awareness and developing a Statement of Conscious for a General Assembly vote in 2012. 

Excellent materials about this topic are available on-line at www.uua.org/socialjustice/issuesprocess/currentissues/ethicaleating. Check them out to learn more and to consider how UUCD might further study Ethical Eating and how we could contribute to further understanding here in Delaware and among our fellow Unitarian Universalists from around the country.

Adopt A Highway

UUCD will participate in the Adopt-A-Highway program. We await the state’s confirmation of the highway assigned to us. This will be a great opportunity for UUCD families (ages 12 and older) to work outdoors together three times a year. For more information, email Social Action at contact@uucd.org.
