December One Thing Ministry: Cville Sock Love and UVA Stockings. We will continue our Cville Sock Love donations for the December One Thing Ministry, but we will be adding on items for the UVA Hospital Christmas stockings. Items such as word search books, crossword puzzles, cute ornaments, journals, pen sets, anything small that would fit in a stocking nicely and would bring a smile to a patient’s face on Christmas morning!

Interested in helping to feed some folks during the Holidays? Let’s support the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank as they undertake a Food Drive beginning Wed. Nov. 16 and running until Dec 14. Bring non-perishables to the Welcome Center to support the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Most-needed items include peanut butter, canned meats/veggies/fruit, beans, pasta/rice, and low-sodium soups. These donations support families during the holidays, especially in a year when supplies are already strained before the season begins.

Let’s make a difference!

LOVE THY NEIGHBOR STATEMENT ON IMMIGRATION

A coalition of people in Charlottesville-area faith communities has been working on compassionate responses to the current immigration landscape. They have produced a statement which you are invited to sign on to that will be presented to elected local and national representatives.

Love Thy Neighbor / Statement on Immigration Enforcement
We, as members of faith communities and people of conscience, are guided by moral values to support the family and to show compassion to the stranger. We condemn the enforcement of policies that shatter immigrant families, when neither parents nor children have been charged with violent crimes. We condemn detention without informing family members of the whereabouts of their loved ones or permitting communication and visitation. We call upon our elected leaders and fellow citizens to ensure that immigrant families remain together and are treated with fairness and humanity.

Here is a link to a Google Document for you to sign.
