On Wednesday, October 16, we will kick off celebrating our 100 years with the Y with a chili fest/cook-off in Fellowship Hall. Come for the fun, enjoy the chili, engage some friendly competition and participate in a worthy cause! All proceeds for the event will go to a joint campaign of Fauntleroy Church and the West Seattle/Fauntleroy YMCA to buy and eliminate medical debt through "Undue Medical Debt," an amazing nonprofit doing great work to lift the burden of unpaid medical bills off the backs of struggling individuals and families.
Many UCC conferences and churches have engaged similar campaigns with Undue Medical Debt (formerly "Rest in Peace Medical Debt"), as well as other organizations, city and state governments. Check out the amazing work this nonprofit is doing at www.unduemedicaldebt.org As followers of Christ, we look forward to engaging this shared economic justice effort with the YMCA as our missions align to lift burdens off the backs of the disadvantaged and make our world a better place!
