Every month Second Unitarian donates half of our offering to a local non-profit. Our partner for July and August is Restoring Dignity.

At the heart of Restoring Dignity is the belief that something can and should be done to meet the needs of Omaha’s refugee community through empowerment, education, and advocacy partnerships. They provide resettled refugee families with crucial services such as home-makeovers, relief programs and language access support. Their family educators go directly into homes and teach critical skills such as home/fire safety, healthy home education and home owners maintenance education classes. All classes are taught in the language the family speaks, by an educator who is from the family’s community. They provide critical housing advocacy for refugees who are struggling with substandard living conditions. Restoring Dignity’s Welcome Home program is one-of-a-kind in the Unites States.

Social Justice is the heart of our church, and every day, UUs show up. Please give generously to 2U’s Share the Plate offering to support Restoring Dignity and our church. Mail checks to 2U at 3012 S. 119th Street, Omaha. Put “Share the Plate” in the memo line. OR try our online giving.
