Join Cedarhurst UU in its efforts to feed the hungry in our area. A team of 6-8 volunteers from Cedarhurst UU and friends of CUU help feed the hungry each month. All are welcome to help!
Night-by-Night Shelter, a non-profit Human Services Programs of Carroll County program, administers several shelters in Carroll County, providing temporary housing and a meal for the homeless. The Night-by-Night Shelter provides housing for those needing a place to sleep, a meal, showers, and laundry machines for the night. The program began to serve those who needed someplace warm in the winter. It has expanded to a year ‘round program. While the lodging is provided by HSP, the hot meal is provided by volunteers from the community. Cedarhurst UU provides a hot dinner once a month for 40+ people on the third Friday of the month.
The Loaves and Fishes program serves lunch to any who show up at one of seven churches in Westminster every day of the year- except July 4th. Cedarhurst UU has served a traditional July 4th lunch at Shepherds Staff for close to 20 years to about 50 people each year.
Some of the Loaves and Fishes churches who serve lunch each week have smaller congregations- so have reached out to churches in Carroll County to aid in their effort. Twice a year, Cedarhurst UU serves lunch at Westminster Church of the Brethren to about 50 people.
