PEACE AND SOCIAL CONCERNS COMMITTEE
Welcome to the webpage for the Peace and Social Concerns (P&SC) Committee
Anyone who wishes to be on the committee may join. Our priorities shift over time as our membership changes or as issues and opportunities arise. The current Clerk is Michele Joy.
Our Current projects include:
Center for Community Transitions (CCT) link: http://www.centerforcommunitytransitions.org/
We have been supporting this residential unit for women prisoners for over a decade. Our efforts have ranged from organizing parties and a series of experiential lessons for the residents to tutoring and taking the residents on outings (shopping, concerts, church).
Homelessness
Several times a year we hold an intergenerational service project making bagged lunches for our homeless neighbors.
Undesignated Giving
Each year the Meeting allots some funds beyond their annual designated giving so that special timely needs can be met. P&SC does the work of discerning how these funds should be disbursed.
