This congregation is committed to service to our community, so we give half of all offerings donated at this page and at our Sunday collection to local organizations whose work furthers our mission. 

• The Share the Plate for Sundays November 8 and 15 is the OutReach LGBTQ+ Community Center Rainbow Roof Fund. Founded in 2011 by drag performer Willma Flynn-Stone, the Dane County rental assistance program has provided more than $400,000 in assistance to over 750 LGBTQ+ adults and families for securing or keeping housing. What began as a small, volunteer-run emergency fund that drew support from drag and burlesque performances now provides more than $45,000 annually to help our queer community members avoid eviction, cover a security deposit, or move from homelessness into a safer place to live. Since the program’s inception, the need has continued to grow, as family rejection, discrimination and poverty can put LGBTQ+ people at greater risk of losing housing; and those who become unhoused may also struggle to find safety in shelters divided by gender. Thank you to Deb Myrbo for nominating them.
