Social Action
The Unitarian commitment to Social Action has four main arms of Outreach.
1. To support, with volunteerism, participation and finances, some among the great number of local charities, organizations, and church outreach programs in the Niagara area. Historically, we have supported:
- Outreach for homeless and hungry people headed by Silver Spire United Church, Knox Presbyterian Church and START ME UP
- Several regional shelters for women and children in distress
- RAFT programs for youth at risk
- POSITIVE LIVING - for people affected by AIDS/HIV
- CAMH - Mental Health outreach
- Seeds of Diversity
- Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre
- Brock University Sexual Violence Support Centre
2. To support global causes of inequity and injustice, by writing campaigns, through action within our community. and by sharing awareness with others.
3. To focus on racial injustice, and environmental destruction, locally and globally.
4. We particularly acknowledge that we meet on aboriginal territory of Anishinaabeg, Ojibway/Chippewa and Haudenosaunee Peoples, and that the challenges of Truth and Reconciliation continue within our community now that Covid-19 restrictions are expanding.
