UNITY of Walnut Creek. A positive path for spiritual living.
Community Action    
Service to the Community

 The projects of the Community Action Committee have merged into our larger Spiritual Social Action Program. 

  

One of our major Community Action projects is our Bag Lunch Program for the Homeless.  (see details below, and join a Bag Lunch Team!) 

Helping the Homeless in our Community -- Bag Lunches


On the first three Saturdays of the month at 9:00 a.m., Unity of Walnut Creek prepares hearty lunches for the homeless. These lunches are delivered to the North Concord Shelter on Sundays at 11:00am as part of the Friends Feeding Friends program. We always welcome helping hands to prepare sandwiches, pack the lunchbags, and deliver them to the grateful recipients. If you'd like to just drop in for a day or join our teams regularly, you are very welcome.     

 

For more information, or to confirm bag lunch schedule, please contact James Choate at jameschoat@sbcglobal.net .
     
Donations for homeless
You can also help by donating money for our feeding the homeless activities. Write a check made out to Unity of Walnut Creek; designate it for  “feeding the homeless” and put it in the prosperity basket on any Sunday.

Our Community Action projects provide a means for Unity to serve the human needs of the larger community.  We recommend and coordinate community involvement to serve hulman needs.  This includes Unity’s tithing to community service organizations as well as Unity’s participation in projects benefiting the disadvantaged in our community.  If service to the community speaks to you, we need you... your ideas and your heart. 

 

Loving Leadership of Community Action Committee 
  
The former Community Action Committee (CAC) was lovingly guided by Barbara Tuck for several years, and we thank and honor her for her wise leadership. It is now time to turn over the leadership to the next person that Spirit taps on the shoulder.  Is this you?  If you feel called to support our community through service, please contact Joanne Cosgrove at  925-788-9780 (cell/text)  or email  WLBeing@aol.com  

Here are some of the activities we have had in past years:
  • Feeding the homeless and hungry: Every Saturday morning we make 70 bag lunches.
  • Shelter Week: We provide meals and other help for a week to homeless families in the Concord and Martinez homeless shelters.
  • Book Drive: We collect money to buy books for kids in kindergarten through 5th grade at Pleasant Hill Elementary School, many of whom are from low income homes in which English is a second language.
  • Back to School Drive: We collect new backpacks for kids and back-to-school supplies.
  • Warm Clothing Drive: In the Fall we collect warm clothes and rain gear and give them to homeless people.
  • Teddy Bear Drive: Before Christmas, we collect teddy bears of all shapes, sizes and varieties and these are auctioned off to raise money for seriously ill children in hospitals.
  • STAND! Christmas Tree: We have a Christmas tree in our patio loaded with ornaments printed with money amounts, from which people take the ornaments and buy gift certificates in the designated amounts. These are given to the STAND! Against Domestic Violence organization so that presents can be bought.
  • Food Bank Drive: During the month of December we collect food that is given to the Food Bank to assist it in providing food to people in need.
