United's Outreach Giving Totals $112,114 in 2022
United Church members and friends, in Santa Fe and across the country, gave more than $100,000 this past year to “love God by loving our neighbor and God’s creation.” $12,700+ went to the United Church of Christ, regionally and nationally, as well as to special offerings (One Great Hour of Sharing, Christmas Fund) and local congregations in need. The remainder went to both local and international organizations to provide support and supplies for Ukrainian refugees, Afghan resettlement, Navajo/Diné relief, regular meals for guests of Santa Fe shelters, mittens for kids in need, legal aid for immigrants, comfort backpacks for kids in crisis, books and social workers for public school kids, support for composting, carbon offset for travel, New Mexico fire relief, hurricane and other climate catastrophe relief, and financial assistance for members and friends facing medical or other emergency needs. In addition, United’s outreach efforts are supported by extensive staff and volunteer involvement. A detailed report of outreach giving will be provided in the Feb. 26 Congregational Budget meeting. Thank you all, near and far, who made such generosity possible! And who will continue it into the future as we are called to “Love God, Love Neighbor, Love Creation.”

United Re-Commits to Supporting Santa Fe's Interfaith, St. Elizabeth, and Casa Familia Shelters
With Felipe of Felipe’s Tacos retiring—and with the needs of Santa Fe’s Shelters changing as the pandemic has changed—United is developing a new way to offer regular meals for the shelters. We plan to provide one full meal (entrée, veggie casserole, salad, and desert) each month for 70 guests at the Interfaith Shelter and 35 meals each for the men at St. Elizabeth and the women and children at Casa Familia.Here’s the plan:
-We’ll continue the monthly Friday “Chop and Grate” mornings to prepare veggies and cheese for the children to assemble into casseroles the next Sunday.(Sometimes the Friday group will assemble the casseroles.)
-Volunteers are also needed to provide an entrée (such as meat loaf) for 12 each month.
-Shoppers and deliverers also needed.
For more information, please contact Pat Roach (505-988-7357,
