Giving First for September 2024
The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $200,000 to more than 70 organizations.
For September 2024, we are funding the work of Gould Farm, www.gouldfarm.org, in Monterey, Massachusetts. Founded in 1913, Gould is the first residential therapeutic community in the nation dedicated to helping adults with mental health and related challenges move toward recovery and independence through community living, meaningful work, and clinical care.
The other half of the offering supports the life and work of First Parish.
