Share the Plate Benefits Trees 2020
July 28, 2009
Each month, Bell Street Chapel shares a portion of our offertory with a charitable organization in Rhode Island through our “Share the Plate” program. We donate half of the unallocated (non-pledge) donations) received to an organization chosen by the Peace and Social Justice Committee. Nominations for Share the Plate are located in Eddy Hall.
Due to the smaller church attendance in the summer months of July and August, a single organization has been selected to get a portion of the offertory for those two months. The organization selected is “Trees 2020″ a non-profit environmental project funded by the Helen Walker Raleigh Tree Care Trust Fund to increase the tree canopy in South Providence which will decrease summer temperatures, lower rates of childhood asthma, and increase bird habitat.
