Each month UCH has given away the entire collection from one service a month to a non-profit doing important work in the wider world. Since Covid times, the amount collected has dropped dramatically so we are widening our time frame to the entire month each group. Check this space for information on current and past partners.
You can also mail a check to the Unitarian Church of Hinsdale at 17 W Maple St. Hinsdale IL 60521 and write your recipient in the memo line. Thank You!
May 2024 Social Justice Collection — Sunday, May 12
The UCH Second Sunday Social Justice Collection in May will benefit Pet Profile Rescue. The Pet Profile Rescue (PPR) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that specializes in rescuing senior animals and animals with special needs. Younger animals are rescued as well. PPR specializes in dogs, but also rescues other animals, such as cats and chinchillas.
PPR rescues animals, provides full rehabilitation services, and then finds them forever families. Pet Profile Rescue takes in shelter animals, strays, and owner surrenders, places them in foster families to assess their needs while medical care is provided, and executes a thorough application screening to find the best possible forever home for the animal.
PPR also focuses on other aspects of animal advocacy, such as fundraising events and conservation.
On Sunday, May 12, all cash and checks received in the Second Sunday Collection, unless otherwise indicated on your check, will be donated to Faith in Place. Please indicate on the "For" line of your check, "Pet Profile Rescue" or "Social Justice." You can also mail a check to: UCH, 17 W. Maple, Hinsdale, IL 60521.
