Second Sunday Outreach Offering
On the second Sunday of each month, we collect a Second Sunday Outreach Offering (SSOO) for an outside organization—usually a local non-profit. In this way we are able to extend financial support to work in our community that aligns with our UU values. To suggest a donation recipient, please email the SSOO coordinating team at ssoo@uucolumbia.net.

Fifth Sunday Offering for Cradlerock Children’s Center
On fifth Sundays (four times a year), we collect an outreach offering designated for Cradlerock Children’s Center, which is the resident childcare center in the Owen Brown Interfaith Center (OBIC) which UUCC helped establish and continues to support in this way.
Hands On Offering
In addition, there are occasional opportunities to participate in a “hands on” project, in which we ask for participation instead of dollars—we ask you to bring items for a school supply drive, elements of a Thanksgiving meal, December holiday gifts for a family, etc.
