Conference Offering Recipients

At the Canadian Unitarian Council’s National Conference, the tradition is to donate the offering taken at the Sunday worship service to one or more charitable organizations recommended by the host committee. Each year, attendees contribute thousands of dollars to charities that pursue social justice both close to home and around the world.
