Billings Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

 
The Billings UU Fellowship encourages everyone to join in our Social Justice projects to educate and effect social justice change within and outside our walls. The following are a few of the projects and organizations we’re involved with:
 
Billings Food Bank Donations
 
One of the Fellowship’s projects is to increase donations to the Billings Food Bank through both food and monetary contributions. The first Sunday of each month is named “Food Bank Sunday” as a reminder to give, but donations can be given any time. To direct money to the Food Bank through the Fellowship, you can write a check and add “Food Bank” to the memo. Food contributions can be placed in the Billings Food Bank basket located at the front of the sanctuary. For more information, contact Donald Seibert.
 
Change for Change
 
Several years ago, the Fellowship started a program to increase assistance to local charities called “Change for Change.” Every Sunday, the collection basket is passed during the service and all of the donated change is given in the Fellowship’s name to one of the following charities chosen by the congregation this year: the Billings Food Bank, Guest at Our Table (a project of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, Habitat for Humanity (link to www.billingshabitat.org), and Not In Our Town (link to www.niotbillings.org). For more information, contact Carolyn Boyd.
 
Audubon Conservation Education Center (ACEC)
 
The Fellowship raised $1,000 to become a Community Partner of the Audubon Conservation Education Center (ACEC). The ACEC’s mission is to help sustain the natural heritage of the Yellowstone River watershed through education and research designed to engage individuals and communities in the active care of their environment. Additional donations to the ACEC can be made by writing a check to BUUF with “ACEC” in the memo. Contact Donald Seibert if you are interested in participating.
 
Other Activities
 
In addition to our financial support of the charities listed above, in January the Fellowship is beginning involvement with four social justice causes, including Not in Our Town; Habitat for Humanity; the UUA Action/Study Issue, Ethical Eating; and Movies that Matter.
