UU THE VOTE: SUNDAY, AUGUST 18 – AFTER SERVICE IN THE FELLOWSHIP HALL
We did it again! This past Sunday, August 11, was another rousing success with 182 postcards completed (this is a combination of cards written after service and cards returned by people who filled them out at home during the week). Our current campaign is for the state of Georgia, which will once again be pivotal in the upcoming November election. If you’re willing to share 20 minutes of your time, please join us at our tables this coming Sunday, August 18, in the Fellowship Hall. It’s a fun time.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12
Our final workday for Habitat this year is scheduled for October 12. We are looking for 10 people willing to commit to work for 6 hours preparing a new home for residency by a family that has been dealing with housing insecurity. The work is not demanding, and previous experience is not required. This is a tremendous opportunity to make a positive impact in our community and especially in the lives of a family.

FOOD DRIVE FOR FOOD NOT BOMBS – AUGUST 25: On a weekly basis, Food Not Bombs (FNB) delivers acutely needed food to 20 – 25 families. People are really struggling now, but the FNB cupboard is bare.
Here’s what is desperately needed: Canned vegetables: Carrots, green beans, black/pinto beans, black-eyed peas, canned tuna/chicken/salmon, spam, vienna sausage, powdered/canned milk, flour, masa, complete pancake mix, syrup, oatmeal, peanut butter, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, cooking/olive oil, spaghetti & sauce, small packages of rice, packaged snacks (like crackers/cheese or peanut butter) fruit snacks, energy bars, drink mixes like Crystal Light. FNB is also in need of cash to help defray the cost of their two storage units, and to purchase supplies for the hygiene kits that they distribute at the Monday food shares.
No donation is too small: the need is acute and is greatly appreciated. Donations can be dropped off at the van at the entrance to the Narthex. For further information email Janet Aguilar at: janetag1944@gmail.com

Adopt-A- Highway – August 18: We need 20 volunteers for this activity, but we are 5 short. If you have a couple of hours, please join us: it’s a fun morning working with other GUUF’ers while performing a much-needed and appreciated community service.
