            [post_content] => Do you have enough to eat? Do you want to stand up against current trends that cut help to our neighbors in need? You (and your friends!) can help others who have difficulty affording food by joining and/or contributing HERE to Project Bread's annual Walk for Hunger, the oldest charity pledge walk in the country and a long-time United Parish tradition.

The Walk for Hunger is the annual fundraising event for the organization Project Bread, an Eastern Massachusetts non-profit organization that takes leadership in connecting people and communities to reliable sources of food and advocates for policies that make food more accessible - so that no one goes hungry. Project Bread gives grants to food programs, analyzes where there are gaps in food access in communities, helps organize new meal programs, has hired chefs to improve school meals, and has successfully advocated for free school lunches in Massachusetts. Project Bread was invited to the 2022 White House Conference on Hunger.

Project Bread also manages the Food Source Hotline (1-800-645-8333), which directs callers to emergency food sources and helps callers apply for SNAP food stamps.

TO PARTICIPATE WITH UNITED PARISH –

 	
DONATE: https://give.projectbread.org/team/645416 connects to the Project Bread website United Parish Team page, where you can donate online. You can also add your name as a team member, letting your friends know (by Facebook, etc.) that you are raising funds that help food pantries and many other food programs in Massachusetts throughout the year.
Beverly B. and Madeline G. will attend coffee hours April 6th & 27th with information about the Walk and will gladly accept contributions of cash or checks to "Project Bread." Checks can also be sent to the church office. You can also email: walkforhunger@UPbrookline.org.
 	
WALK WITH US: You (and your children!) can make your support visible as well by walking with us. It's fun! The United Parish Team of walkers will meet at 8:30 am at church, take the Green Line to the Walk for Hunger gathering at Boston Common, and walk back to church together in time for our 11 am service. The 3.5 mile route goes through the Public Garden in its spring glory and down the Commonwealth Mall. It's an ideal time of year to walk together.

Join us and live your faith by sharing with your community!

            [post_content] => It is Election Time in Brookline!

Come to a candidates forum on Wednesday, April 2 at 7pm at Temple Sinai, 50 Sewall Avenue, Brookline.

On May 6, there is an election for a vacant seat on the 5-member Brookline Select Board, and there are three candidates to choose from. They represent different approaches to the issues we all care about – housing, schools, seniors, taking care of our vulnerable citizens – it’s an important choice for the future of the Town.

United Parish is joining with the four other GBIO Brookline congregations – Temple Israel, St Paul’s Episcopal, Temple Sinai, and Temple Beth Zion – in sponsoring a candidates forum, where you can hear them speak to the issues. Rev. Kent will be one of the three clergy leaders moderating the forum.



Click here to register.

This is a really important election. Hope to see you there.
