Upcoming events at UUCSB & beyond
Share the Plate! Summer 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.
For the summer months, we ask for donations to be split between UUCSB's general fund and The Equality Community Center. From their website:
The Equality Community Center is a collaborative workplace for LGBTQ+ and allied social justice seeking non-profit organizations.
We strive to provide a safer and more inclusive gathering space with social and educational programming for all, while supporting the most marginalized in our communities.
This is an interactive calendar. Click on a highlighted square to find out more about what’s going on on that day! Or, below, you can scroll through the list of upcoming events.
