Share the Plate

Contribute to Our Mission


The fellowship shares half of undesignated donations received during our Sunday services with a community organization or charity that does work consistent with our UU values and mission, organizations involved in promoting community services and social justice.

For the month of October, we have selected the Journey Into Reading program of Child Care Coordinating Council of the North Country.

Reading is critical throughout school and throughout life, no matter the subject or career path! Journey Into Reading is a free reading and child literacy-building program for families in the greater Plattsburgh region. We are committed to preparing children for the journey of a lifetime: the Journey Into Reading.

Each Thursday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., volunteers read to young children at the Champlain Center Mall courtyard near Kay Jewelers. After listening to the book being read, the children each choose a free book to take home and enjoy.

Adults who attend are given tips on how to read to children and advice on why reading is an important and loving pastime to share with their families.

To donate, mail a check to the fellowship (4 Palmer St., Plattsburgh, NY 12901) and indicate “Journey” on the memo line. You can also text “GIVE” to 518-594-8008.

We are interested in hearing about ideas you may have for potential beneficiaries of Share the Plate. Please send any suggestions to love@uuplattsburgh.org and include a short description of the charity or organization.

Your gift will help us fulfill our mission, fostering open minds, inspiring spiritual growth, engaging in loving community and igniting a passion for social justice.
