As a Unitarian Universalist congregation, The UnitarianSociety seeks to live its commitment to justice and equality through several "Outreach Ministries", as well as supporting a wide variety of groups and causes through or "Cash-in-Basket" donations. We invite you to become involved in our congregation's involvement in the wider community.
Community Food Basket We collect non-perishable food and personal care items which are donated to the Middlesex County Emergency Food Network (M.C.F.O.O.D.S.). Our collection basket is in the lobby. Items needed include canned goods, dry pasta, rice, cereal, boxed milk, peanut butter and personal and infant care items such as toothpaste and diapers. NO GLASS IS ACCEPTED. Contact: Jim Lieb (732-254-1742 ).
Homelessness Prevention Ministry Working in concert with MIPH [Making It Possible to End Homelessness], a New Brunswick-based institution that provides transitional housing through Amandla Crossing and Imani Park, we offer monetary assistance to families moving into stable housing situations. The mission of MIPH is simple: "end homelessness one family at a time". Contact: Susan Curtin (732-418-0232) or Jim Lieb (732-254-1742)
Elijah's Promise Dinner Program On the second Thursday of each month, a group of our Society members cooks and serves dinner at 18 Neilson Street in New Brunswick, using funds donated through our "Cash in Basket" offerings. Volunteers are always welcome to observe and/or join this program. Contact Bob Krutzel (732-257-2288) Elijah's Promise info
