Get Involved

Everyone has a skill to bring to our table. You can write a letter,  sign a petition, advocate for those without a voice, support our Dreamers at Pioneer Elementary — there are so many ways to be part of our efforts.  Side with Love with us!

Want to get involved? Have an idea for a project? Email the Social Justice Council at socialjusticecouncil@bvuuf.org and let’s talk.

Here are ongoing service actions you can join:

CROP Walk

We have walked as a team in the CROP Hunger Walk for 16 years, raising  over $55,000 to help alleviate hunger. The event happens in October every year.  Contact socialjusticecouncil@bvuuf.org if you are interested in forming a team.  

Boulder Shelter for the Homeless

Since March 2007 we have helped prepare and serve dinner at the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless on the third Wednesday of each month. It’s a direct way to interact with and help people in need. This opportunity is currently on hold due to the pandemic. Learn more.

Boulder Valley Community Action Network (BVCAN)

BVCAN works with Together Colorado, a statewide advocacy group, on diverse projects such as medical insurance for children in Boulder County, immigration reform and action, and working to increase access mental health services. We are a part of the newly formed Together Colorado Boulder County Coalition which is currently working on housing for low-income people. For more information, please contact socialjusticecouncil@bvuuf.org.

Emergency Family Assistance Association

Our congregation donates supplies and money from our  half-plate offering  to this Boulder non-profit.  In December, BVUUF collects needed items for EFAA .

I Have A Dream

Since 2012, the Fellowship has committed to support I Have a Dream (IHAD) Dreamer Scholars from elementary through high school, beginning at Pioneer Elementary in Lafayette. A half-plate offering is taken four times a year to fund our commitment for these low income students. In addition, individual Fellowship members provide financial support as well as hands-on tutoring in Lafayette schools. Training is provided by IHAD.

Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC)

Our congregation supports the UUSC with donations, the sale of holiday cards and Equal Exchange products, and participation in the Guest at Your Table donation boxes during the holiday season. Members and friends support the projects of the UUSC through letter writing and signing petitions.

Welcoming Congregation 

We are a Welcoming Congregation striving for radical inclusion, and creating spaces that honor every part of our identities, backgrounds, and experiences. We support Pridefest and other efforts among the wider public initiated by LGBTQ+ people. For more information send an email to welcoming@bvuuf.org

Interfaith AIDS Coalition (IAC)

We are members of the Interfaith Aids Coalition, a program of the  Boulder County Aids Project. We hold annual food drives for BCAP, including an Easter can hunt, and donate through our half-plate offerings.  Several members directly volunteer with BCAP.
