Activities

First, visit www.thehungersite.com and feed the hungry by clicking a link.Our congregation is involved with programs to improve life for our members, our community, our region, our nation, and, yes, all mankind. We come together for many personal reasons, yet our personal growth is nurtured by service to others, so UUCH participates in or contributes financially to many local, regional, and national organizations.Here are some of the organizations UUCH supports financially or with the time and effort of UUCH members and friends:

• Adopt-A-Highway
• Celebrate the Circle (CTC)
• Eno River Association
• Habitat for Humanity
• Northern Orange AIDS Care Team (NOACT)

• Occoneechee Mountain Events
• Orange Congregations In Mission (OCIM)
• UU Service Committee (UUSC)
• UUCHorale

Adopt-A-Highway: We have adopted the Old NC 10 highway, from NC 86 past our church to the railroad underpass (about 2 miles). Each quarter we recruit volunteers to pick up litter on one fifth of our highway, usually right after church.

Celebrate the Circle (CTC) is an Earth-centered affiliated group of UUCH and a chapter of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS). CTC meets weekly at the church for learning circles at 4 pm except for the 8 annual rituals. See www.celebratethecircle.org for the current schedule.

The Eno River Association (ERA) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization founded in 1965 to protect the magnificent Eno River from the threats of development and pollution. The Eno River is located in central NC and is part of the Neuse River Basin. The Eno flows through both Orange and Durham counties, passing through the towns of Durham and Hillsborough, where the pressures for urban sprawl are great, and where the river most needs protection. The absolutely wonderful Festival for the Eno during the July 4th weekend is presented by the ERA. All proceeds go to preserve and protect lands along the Eno River.

Habitat for Humanity: In 2002, we helped Habitat of Humanity of Orange County to build a house for Lucius Enoch and his son, in the Richmond Hills development near Efland. Our efforts continue with this worthy group. Contact: Erdman (Pal) Palmore (919-321-8668).

The Northern Orange AIDS Care Team (NOACT) comprises members from UUCH and St. Matthew's Episcopal Church. We are affiliated with the Alliance of AIDS Services–Carolina (AASC). We provide care and support for an individual who has HIV/AIDS.

Occoneechee Mountain Events: UUCH's own Jean-Michel Margot regularly leads geological hikes on Occoneechee Mountain outside Hillsborough. To sign up for a future hike, click here, and for more information about the Mountain, click here.

Orange Congregations in Mission (OCIM) is a private nonprofit ministry composed of over 40 congregations. As a human-services organization, OCIM strives to meet the emergency needs of those who find themselves in crisis situations. OCIM serves the entire Orange County School District and relies on volunteers from member congregations and their denominational offices as well as on the proceeds from the Thrift Shop, United Way, foundations, and private donations. The membership, volunteers and staff of OCIM are committed to providing a helping hand to those in our community who are in need of service. Contacts: Jean-Michel Margot, Tami Shaw and Nancy Wilderman.

UU Service Committee (UUSC): With 25,000+ members and supporters, the UUSC is a nonsectarian organization that promotes human rights and social justice worldwide. We maintain partnerships in the U.S., south and southeast Asia, central Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Our programs are based on UU principles that affirm the worth, dignity and human rights of every person — but one need not be a UU to join UUSC.

UUCHorale: Our choir is always looking for more enthusiastic voices seeking to make a "joyful noise." Please contact Jennifer Hancock or David Yelton for more info.
