Goldie Cooper, New Beginnings Executive Director, with children and teen helpers in after the school program, accepts a check from Carol Meredith and Joy Gaddy from UUFE’s Social Justice Committee.
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Easton (UUFE) Social Justice Committee continues its mission to support organizations that promote social justice through programming and community service.
UUFE members Carol Meredith and Joy Gaddy recently visited New Beginnings Youth & Family Services in Cambridge to present a donation of $725 from a recent UUFE outreach collection.
Long recognized as a vital part of the Cambridge community, New Beginnings offers after school and all-day summer programs where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Its mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and structured environment that equips children and their families with the tools to foster education, success, and community. The organization is dedicated to empowering those who have ever felt powerless.
Previous UUFE Social Justice Outreach Collections have supported the Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center, the Frederick Douglass Honor Society, an organization aiding Ukrainian refugees, the Water’s Edge Museum, DelMarVa Pride, and more.
“The Social Justice Committee reflects our congregation’s commitment to community service and equity,” said Meredith. “Partnering with organizations like New Beginnings helps us live our values of compassion and justice.”
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Easton is an open religious community that nurtures spiritual and intellectual growth for all ages, while actively engaging in outreach and service. UUFE cherishes diversity and celebrates oneness with all humanity in the spirit of compassion, respect, and love.
UUFE meets weekly on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM, and all are welcome. For more information about the Fellowship, visit https://uufeaston.org. To learn more about New Beginnings Youth & Family Services, visit https://newbeginningsyouth.wixsite.com/info.
