Sock It To September!

Read Now
 
Picture
Why socks? Socks are the #1 most requested item at every homeless shelter, yet are the least donated item. With 48.1 million Americans going hungry and 600,000 living without shelter, it seems odd that a boring old sock would be deemed superior to other donations. Here are the primary reasons why homeless shelters favor socks above all else.

Socks Reduce Foot Fungus and Infections
Though humble in nature, a single pair of socks can dramatically improve a person’s health. Socks help to wick sweat away from the foot, considerably reducing a person’s risk of athlete’s foot. They also provide a barrier between the foot and the shoe, which reduces the potential for blisters and chafing. 

Socks Promote Heat Retention
Socks add a layer of insulation, which increases heat retention in the body. A lot of body heat escapes through the feet, and socks can seal in warmth, allowing people to conserve their body heat more efficiently. 

The Supply and Demand of Socks
The desirability of socks primarily hinges on basic supply and demand. Everybody needs socks, and a pair of generic socks only lasts a couple of months before they are too soiled or tattered to be useful. Homeless people go through socks at an accelerated rate, due to the increased moisture and dirt they’re exposed to.

Join us as we seek to "do whatever we can, wherever we are, whenever we can" to make a difference in our community. (Quote paraphrased from President Jimmy Carter.)

The Right Questions by Filmmaker Benjamin David Smith
When a sociology grad student spends his last semester living on the street in order to write his thesis on the homeless, he realizes he's bitten off more than he can chew. He struggles with objectivity as he's pulled into the lives of the very people he's trying to study. Just when he thinks he's regained control, a 10-year old boy will change his life forever.

Wednesday, August 17th at 6:30pm UCPC is pleased to host one of the official free screenings of How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can't Change.
Having exposed the risks posed by natural gas drilling, known as fracking, in the documentaries “Gasland” and “Gasland Part II,” Josh Fox was struck by a sobering thought: “We could beat the fossil-fuel industry, but we still might lose everything we love to climate change.”
Now, in HOW TO LET GO OF THE WORLD AND LOVE ALL THE THINGS CLIMATE CAN’T CHANGE, the third and final chapter in the “Gasland” trilogy, Fox surveys the damage from possibly the greatest threat the world has ever faced, but also finds reasons for hope. Showing how people around the world are taking action to protect their communities, the timely documentary is available on HBO NOW, HBO GO and HBO On Demand.
The film features songs by The Beatles, Radiohead, Kate Bush, Angelique Kidjo and the Tune-Yards. Josh Fox states, “Music is extremely important in all of my films, but none more than this one. I am extremely honored to have the music of incredible artists like The Beatles, Radiohead, Angelique Kidjo, George Gershwin, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, and Kate Bush all in one film. I hope that the music and love in the film resonates with people, and that this third and final chapter in the trilogy will do for the climate movement what Gasland did for fracking.”

Chapter Nine of Charles Fillmore's Prosperity ("Tithing, the Road to Prosperity") addresses tithing where he writes: In the 3d chapter of Malachi we find God's blessing directly connected with faithfulness in giving to the Lord's treasury, but gifts should be made because it is right and because one loves to give, not from a sense of duty or for the sake of reward. 
That there will be a reward following the giving we are also assured by Jesus in a direct promise "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give unto your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38"


Every month UCPC tithes 10% of our total income. The tithe funds are divided equally between Unity Worldwide Ministries, Silent Unity, Southeast Unity Ministries, and a local charitable organization. During the school year July through April) that local organization is our Adopt-A-School program with Willow Oaks Elementary School. This summer the Board selected Rachel's Kids as the beneficiary of our May and June funds.

What is Rachel's Kids? From their website:
The goal of Rachel’s Kids Inc. is to provide opportunities and improved quality of life for those children who live in the inner city neighborhoods of Memphis. The sole focus of our effort is directed towards the children of the Binghampton section near Midtown Memphis. Rachel's Kids Inc. is  a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, relying on contributions to offset our growing costs. All donations made to us are tax deductible on your U.S. federal income taxes.
