Share the Plate

USG shares its Sunday offerings to mostly-local charitable organizations nominated by our members. We share half our plate every Sunday with each organization, usually for two weeks in a row.

Our generous members have contributed over $165,000 since 2013 to important needs and causes (see partial list of recipients below):
