Unitarian Church announces community recipients

Olympia Brown Unitarian Universalist Church, which shares its Sunday collections with area non-profit organizations, announces those that will receive Beyond-These-Four-Walls grants for July through December. The program began as a way for the church to help others and to support community efforts to assist individuals across a spectrum of needs.

The recipients for the second half of 2010 are:

• July, Cops ‘n Kids for youth reading and a summer garden program;
• August, Women and Children’s Horizons for children's play equipment for victims of domestic and sexual violence and abuse;
• September, Friends of the Public Library for youth reading through the Battle of the Books;
• October, Racine Urban Garden Network for urban gardening and increased consumption of foods from local sources;
• November, Racine Symphony Orchestra for annual educational events to preserve our musical heritage;
• December, Foundations of Life for education and health for teen mothers through peer-facilitated group sessions.

The recipients make brief presentations to the congregation during their designated month to inform church members of their work and mission.

Interested non-profit organizations may contact the Unitarian Church at 634-0659 for information regarding the Beyond-These-Four-Walls Program.
