Westmoreland UCC is hosting a series of potlucks this summer to support anyone impacted by changes to the federal workforce: federal employees who have been let go; those still employed and struggling with uncertainty and work focus; those with careers affected by recent changes; and others.

These gatherings are not religious in nature and all are welcome. They reflect our commitment to an expansive understanding of community, support, and mercy – of acting on what we believe to help others. We offer our space and witness to bring people together in this time of need.

The potlucks seek mainly to offer community and connection. We’ll look for ways to foster networking around practical needs. We also hope to have some light programming with speakers and access to resources, but much of the time will be informal.

Have a suggestion for a speaker? Let us know here.

Communities of faith – any faith – and similar groups are encouraged to share this with their members.

For questions or to explore formal partnership or ways to help, contact:
