UUA-UUSC Gulf Coast Relief Fund Surpasses $3 Million

Dear Friends:

We are extremely grateful for the outpouring of compassion and support you have shown for those affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita through your donations to the UUA-UUSC Gulf Coast Relief Fund. Donations to the fund have topped the $3 million mark.

The UUA and UUSC are committed to immediate, as well as long-term, effective interventions and solutions as we work to provide assistance. Your contributions will be used to support individuals through on-the-ground secular and religious organizations, including the UUA, and will provide immediate and long-term assistance for the most marginalized people affected by this catastrophe. We will also search for opportunities to address the policies of exclusion and neglect that contributed to the magnitude of the suffering and destruction. Through your contributions, we work together to heal not only the disaster-impacted communities, congregations, and lives, but ourselves as well.

With appreciation and thanks,

William G. Sinkford
President
