Feed My People
We at Unity Church of Peace are very active in contributing to our friends at Feed My People. They are dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to supply the food they distribute to folks that are less fortunate.

“Operation Write Home” is a group of crafters from across America, and beyond, who make handmade cards for deployed heroes so that they can keep in touch with their loved ones at home. These heroes serve all branches of the military in all deployed locations, including those stationed aboard ships, and the handcrafted cards of gratitude help to encourage them.
The project began in 2007 with just a few cards sent by friends on a message board. Eventually, www.CardsForHeroes.org started, and in September, 2009, the organization became Operation Write Home, in order to better focus on what we're all about: helping heroes keep in touch with home!
Unity Church of Peace has card crafting days to help support Operation Write Home. All supplies and shipping costs are donated, and this is an activity open to all members of the community who wish to help our heroes.

New Food Pantry
We now have a food pantry as a source of outreach for our U.C.O.P. church family. If you can, please bring non-perishable food items to the kitchen, where they will be put in the pantry. If you need something from the pantry, please feel free to take whatever you need. Any items that are not taken in a timing fashion will be donated to local food pantries. Thank you!
