Many UUCC elves made Christmas Eve merry for some 40 guests at Urban Hope, the Ohio City soup kitchen we support. Because of the generous donations to the congregation’s collection plate for Urban Hope last year, we were able to give gift /shopping bags filled with RTA pass, toiletries, warm knitted hats, candy and other treats, plus provide a lovely meal. Some of the gifts were donated.
Many thanks to:
• Helen Gutin, who donated 30 gift/shopping bags
• Friends of UUCC, who knitted hats
• Sue Math, who bought packets of tissues
• Barbara Bradley, who contributed lip balm
• Teri Egan, who donated Hershey kisses
• Wednesday night diners who put together the bags: Jackie Stimpert, Lisa Hathaway, David Hathaway, Eric Hathaway, Daniel O’Keeffe, Cliff Wire, Laurie Holmes and others
• Many cookie bakers: Kris Bassett, Filomena Bassett, Grania Bassett, Jean Ellsworth-Wolk, the Forum gang, John Martin, Chris Martin
• John Martin, Jean Martin and Chris Martin, who cooked and served the meal
• Felisa Anthony and Dana DeSantis, who also served

Apologies to anyone whom we’ve missed!
