Have a potluck open house on Christmas day, inviting your
congregation's members and other friends. Instead of exchanging
gifts, have a money tree where people can tie bills to decorate the
branches. Include the gifts as a part of your Guest at Your Table
contributions.
Host a coffee social to emphasize UUSC following your regular
Sunday service. Use space in your congregation, or in someone's
home.
Organize a breakfast, luncheon or even potluck dinner. Use
the event as a vehicle to increase contributions and memberships.
Ahead of time, encourage a few special people in the congregation to
share what Guest at Your Table means to them, and why it is
important to them to support UUSC.
Hold a stone soup supper or hunger banquet around Guest at
Your Table.
Hold a special video viewing night. UUSC has a video lending
library full of videos about human rights, the issues on which we
work, and our partner organizations. Simply contact
volunteerservices@uusc.org for more information. Make the
viewing night fun for all. Say a few words about UUSC and Guest at
Your Table, and plan a discussion time following the video. And of
course providing food and drink is always a plus. Maybe even make it
a pot luck dessert night!
