The Easter collection will support life-saving work of Mano a Mano International Partners in Bolivia, a South American country linked to Unity Church for over two decades. Devastating inequality in rural Bolivia is evidence of centuries of resource exploitation, embedded racial and class oppression, and — more recently — the whipsawing of climate change. This is the venue for Mano a Mano’s inspiring work. Founded in 1994 by longtime Unity Church members Segundo and Joan Velasquez, Mano a Mano International Partners is dedicated to building infrastructure — schools, clinics, roads, reservoirs and wells — as well as developing human capacity training health care providers, farmers, and builders. Dozens of church members have been privileged to travel to Bolivia to witness the impact of this amazing work. |

United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities (UTS) is a significant educational resource, locally and nationally, for Unitarian Universalists, whether they are answering a call to the ministry or pursuing graduate level education focused on theology, justice and the arts. Many Unity Church members, interns and staff are graduates of UTS, and several of Unity’s ministers have taught on the faculty. With this collection, Unity Church joins 17 other congregations funding scholarship support for UU students attending UTS. |

Unity's Act for the Earth Team empowers the Unity Church community to address climate change, climate justice, and environmentalism through education and action. The team plants pollinator gardens and trees; advocates for clean energy, electric vehicles, plant-based eating, and waste reduction; and offers spiritually grounding practices and workshops based on the Active Hope model. Their advocacy group follows the work of community partners Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light and Rise and Repair to support environmental action. This May they will host the second annual Eco Fair in partnership with six local churches. |

Zion Community Commons, on the corner of LaFond and Aldine since 1912, is a place of hospitality and grace to all in need. Its food program offers “pay what you can” meals and provides weekly “shelter in place” bags of food, diapers, and more, to 200-plus families caught up in the uncertainties of Operation Metro Surge. Zion's Arts on LaFond program seeks to nurture strong community ties through a vibrant program of music and arts, including weekly concerts that have become a spiritual oasis for the Hamline-Midway community. |
