There are a few different ways to support this event.
1- Reach out to your networks- friends, family, neighbors- in the month of October to contribute items to fill YOUR trunk. Then either bring in a bag of items Sunday, October 19th and/or bring a full trunk with those items to UUC on Saturday, October 25th from 3-5 PM. We will place these items on display to raise awareness, and transport to the storage area soon afterwards to be distributed to families in need.
2- Collect what you can from this list and bring your contributions to Sunday service the 19th or Saturday from 3-5 to help fill OUR trunks! Cars with open trunks will be set up in our small back parking lot, and once full we will transport these items to the storage area. We (hope) that we will need to make a few trips! ** For Saturday: Please bring your items to the front yard at UUC – Prospect Street Entrance – to ensure a smooth traffic flow. If you have a full trunk, our youth will help you unload!
