Thank you for your generous support for the UUSC family we are working with. They’re very appreciative of your donations and gifts of time. Please consider helping the family as they prepare for tax season. Every family member works at MisterCar Wash.

We’re in need of 1 person to help translate from Spanish for their tax assistance appointment in Brooklyn Park on Monday, March 6 (with Laurie Young from MSUS). You will translate as Laurie helps family members complete online forms.

The family also needs 2 people to help with Spanish translation on the evening of Tuesday, March 14. We need help translating during their appointments with Prepare and Prosper in St. Paul, an agency that provides free tax assistance. The appointment starts at 7:15 and could last 2-3 hours.

We’re looking for 2-4 drivers on the evening of Tuesday, March 14th to transport family members (1 way or both ways) from Brooklyn Park to their 7:15 p.m. appointments with Prepare and Prosper in St. Paul and back to Brooklyn Park afterwards. The appointments could last 2-3 hours.  

Please contact Lori Arnold if you’re interesting in helping!

Join the big push to pass Bring It Home, Minnesota — legislation that would fully fund rental assistance in Minnesota. Make your voice heard at two events coordinated by our community partner Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative!

Lobby Day 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

REGISTER HERE to join others in our districts to meet with state legislators to get their support. Be sure to register so that Beacon organizers can plan legislator visits. Training will be provided. We’ll have snacks available, and there will be time to grab lunch at one of the cafes in the capitol.

Capitol Rally 1:30-2:30 p.m.

REGISTER HERE to rally and make some noise in the capitol to let lawmakers know about the huge support for Bring It Home, Minnesota. Beacon’s goal is 1,000 attendees! UUCM’s goal is to have 15 people participate in the rally. You can help make that happen! 

Get on the bus! 8:15 a.m. departure – 3:15 p.m. return

For folks going to both events, UUCM is partnering with other churches in the area to take a bus to the capitol. The bus leaves the UUCM parking lot at 8:15 a.m. and returns right after the rally, about 3:15 p.m. We’ll sing songs and have snacks and enjoy the ride together! Let Mike Elliot know if you want a spot on the bus.
