COFM Emergency Winter Shelter Program

WUU will be hosting the Community of Faith Mission (COFM) Emergency Winter Shelter this year during the week of Thanksgiving. WUU has been part of this program since its inception in 2014. 

If you have no special plans for Thanksgiving Day, we invite you to spend a few hours at WUU with our guests! Come watch the football game, play cards or board games, or join us for the big lunch or evening meal. We will provide more information at a later date, but consider this an invitation. We know your presence will be meaningful to our guests.

We will be asking our various ministries and groups who meet at WUU to help out with preparing and serving dinners during the week. Thanks to those who have already said YES!!! 

Monday night: Buddhist Sangha

Tuesday night: Two of the Soul Matters groups

We encourage Circle Dinner, lunch and breakfast groups, and any others who would like to prepare and serve the meal to volunteer for Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday. Volunteering for a shift is a wonderful opportunity to do something meaningful, so please participate as you are able.

We will also need coverage for the breakfast, evening, and overnight shifts.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has volunteered in the past. We hope you will consider helping out again. And to all our new members and folks who have not had a chance to help out during WUU’s week of hosting the shelter, now is your chance!

Look out for more information in the weekly eblast, the Spiral. The SignUpGenius to sign up for shifts is now live! We will also explain more about the week during Sunday morning announcements.
