The past year’s work to be a good neighbor in our church neighborhood and in Spartanburg was led by Pam and Fred Stoll, and summarized it in this part of the social justice annual report. Some of the work includes:

• In October 2025, UUCS first hosted unhoused families through A Way Home, which is a consortium of churches who support families in the program by hosting them in their facilities.
• We host a Little Free Food Pantry, sponsored by Spartanburg Day Students, on our church grounds.
• Little Free Libraries: We donate “outgrown” books to the little free library we sponsor, as well as buying new books for it.
• Converse University Valkyrie Supply (a basic needs hub): food and STP donations one month a year.
• Maintain a food barrel for donations to TOTAL Ministries.
• Maintain a basket for donations of newspapers for the humane society and animal allies, a low cost spay and neuter clinic.
