At Thoreau, we believe that caring for our community is an important part of living our Unitarian Universalist values. Through our Shared Offering, we support local organizations and agencies working to meet the needs of our neighbors. Past offerings have included collecting food and essential items for local families and individuals experiencing hardship.

While we are currently away from our building, our Shared Offerings are temporarily on hold. We look forward to resuming this tradition when we are able to gather in our space again.

Keep an eye on our website and social media for announcements about our next Shared Offering! We’ll share details about the organization we’re supporting, the items needed, and how you can participate. Every contribution, big or small, is an opportunity to put our values into action and make a difference in our community.

We share half of our Sunday Offering with a community partner. In October, half our collection will go to Rosenberg-Richmond Helping Hands.

Their mission, which they’ve been carrying out since 1985, is to feed, clothe, and provide essential services to the underserved in West Fort Bend County, and all their funding comes from churches, private individuals, civic organizations, private foundations, and corporations.

Every few months, Thoreau offers a “Service after the Service” for the entire community to come together for a hands-on project.

Stay tuned for our next service project.
