Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank is November’s Share the Plate charity!

Food is a basic human need, yet every day thousands of our neighbors struggle to have enough food on their plates. At Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, we work to ensure that anyone who needs a healthy meal can get one. The Mission of the Food Bank is to leverage the power of community to achieve lasting solutions to hunger and its root causes. The Vision of the Food Bank is to see a future with communities where everyone has access to the food and resources they need to thrive. To learn more about the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank visit its website at Home | Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank (pittsburghfoodbank.org)

New UU Statement of Values

Chalice graphicAfter a democratic process involving thousands of Unitarian Universalists discussing the faith’s values and core theology over the past four-plus years, delegates at the 2024 Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) General Assembly voted decisively to approve a new statement of values and beliefs for Unitarian Universalism. Read more about this historic vote.
