The Program
The Share-the-Plate program raises money to give to local agencies which are trying to improve life for Chester County residents.
Eleven times a year, UCWC gives approximately half of the collection plate to a congregation-nominated recipient. Funds are given to small, local organizations for whom our gift is very meaningful in the continuance of their efforts.
Your donation to the plate is split 50/50 with the recipient organization unless you designate otherwise (“100% to recipient” or “100% to UCWC” for example) in the check memo or accompanying letter.
