Change for the World
We are a community that practices generosity within and beyond our walls. On Sunday mornings when we collect an offering for the support of our community we collect change to support the work of one of community partners. You can also donate to the current month’s CFTW recipient by specifying the CFTW Fund on our Online Donation Form.

Guidelines for Change for the World (CFTW)
The Social Justice Committee of UUCV uses the following guidelines in choosing Change for the World recipients that are recommended by congregants or members of the Committee:
Funds collected will be donated to organizations or groups providing needed services that are in keeping with UUCV’s mission and the UU principles. Special consideration will be given to local groups for whom a donation of $200-$300 dollars might be crucial.
UUCV members who wish to nominate a recipient of CFTW are required to submit a UUCV CFTW Proposal form (located on the SJC table in the Social Hall). Proposed nominations will be reviewed by the UUCV Social Justice Committee on a quarterly basis.
For more information, please contact a member of the Social Justice Committee.
