We are excited to announce our partnership with
First Unitarian Church of Rochester
Through their "
The Greater Good" project, they have
raised over $75,000 - a portion of which goes to the San
Jose Project!
What is the
Greater Good Project?
It's an all-church community endeavor, to bring meaning back
to the holidays and tap into the strength and power of the
spirit of the season. Each of us is asked to tally what we
spend on the holiday season from: presents, wrappings,
trimmings, travel, food and entertainment. Then take that
number and cut it in half, and contribute that to a project
at the church - a gift to the Greater Good. In 2006 we
collected $79,000, and in 2007 $72,500, from members and
friends of the church and members of the larger community.
These contributions remind us of needs greater than our own
and sure made "living simply so others can simply live" worth
the effort and small sacrifice!
