through education and action within our community, our country and around the world.

All Members and friends are welcome - please be aware that we almost always run a full agenda. If you have an item to ask us to consider, contact the Committee Chair. SOCIAL JUSTICE COLLECTIONS One Sunday a month, BUF members are invited to give to a Social Justice Collection for a non-profit organization serving in one of the following areas: women and children, environment, poverty/homelessness, peace and human rights, social and economic justice, and health. A list of recent and forthcoming recipients and the guiding principles for Social Justice Collections is posted here. If your organization would like to apply to be the recipient of a Social Justice Collection, please contact Committee Chair. SOCIAL JUSTICE PROGRAMS AND EVENTS We put our values into action by sponsoring and/or hosting community events and programs. Information about our ongoing programs may be seen here.. And a description of recent and forthcoming specific events is posted here.. FAIR TRADE PROJECT Every Sunday, the Social Justice Committee sells Equal Exchange coffee, tea, chocolate and cocoa in a variety of flavors and at prices at or below local retailers. The profits not only fund the Grand Coffee Hour enjoyed by members and friends between the services, but also many important Social Justice programs.
