Share the Plate! September & October 2026
Each month, UUCSB chooses an organization to split weekly donations made by congregants during the course of Sunday services. As many of you attend virtually, we are providing an online venue for these donations.
September and October 2026 we will be sharing our plate with Seeds of Hope, one of the only remaining centers to provide shelter for our unhoused citizens.
When the County shelters closed in Alfred, York County was left in a difficult situation. Seeds has stepped in and stepped up to take over these spaces and run them with little to no federal funding. They recently assumed full operation of the Family Center, the only shelter in york County dedicated to families with children and recently gotten involved with the Maine Way.
We support them every year with between $500-$800 in a share the plate.
This year their board has asked us to offer a leadership donation to the efforts to create viable shelter options for families and warming options for others. The ask to us is for $2,000-$4,000. Our stretch goal is between $1500-$2,000 for September - October.
Help us support an organization that is responsibly, thoughtfully and lovingly supporting our most vulnerable citizens right now!

The immediate needs are for camping equipment. And the need is right now. Biddeford issued an eviction to folks camped out near town, and so they are being moved and losing all of their belongings and thus seeking encampment elsewhere. For the next month the pressing needs are:
tents,
sleeping matts
sleeping bags
tarps
cooking stoves and gas
flashlights and batteries
