Volunteer Opportunities

Unitarian Universalists of Coastal Georgia have an active Social Justice program. The focus for this year will be FaithWorks Ministries, an ecumenical group drawing from many area churches. Opportunities to serve the community through FaithWorks include delivering food and other essential items to some of the community's neediest families, mentoring students,and working in a community gardden. On the first Sunday of each month, congregants are asked to bring items, such as clothing, toiletries, games and household items, to the Sunday service for FaithWorks. In the past few years, the church has provided assistance to Safe Harbor, a shelter for youths, Harmony Square, a new day care provider and soon-to-be adult education center in Brunswick's central city.
The membership of Unitarian Universalists of Coastal Georgia recently raised more than $1,000 for the Bounty for Guns program on the Brunswick Police Department.
Work on the environment has included cleanup work along the Altamaha River. We provided help to the Nature Conservancy and the Altamaha Riverkeeper on this project.
UUCG has joined with the GlynnPeace group in efforts to make a statement proclaiming our desire for peace in the world. A peace vigil was held after one of our services, and we participated in a peace poetry reading.
