2019 Beaufort Walk for Water
September 21, 2019 9:00AM
Live Oaks Park, Port Royal, SC
UUFB and our Social and Environmental Justice Committee (SEJ) are again sponsoring a team for this year's Beaufort Walk for Water. The SEJ team has donated $500 to the walk, which provide us with 10 free registrations. If you would like to walk for free, please contact me, Kate Hudson, and I will sign you up! First come, first serve! If you want to register yourself and pay the $20 fee for an adult, you can simply go to the website, click on Register and then enter our team name to join. Our Team Name, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Beaufort is easy to remember! Students pay only $15, youth pay $5, and children under five are free.
REGISTER HERE
On September 21st, hundreds of us will take to the streets of Port Royal to bring safe water for life to thousands of men, women and children across the world. This more than a walk. It's an event that will have impacts on people forever by providing lasting solutions that save lives. Join us as we walk so others won't have to.
Why Walk?
Every day, millions of women and children in developing countries walk over three miles to retrieve water for their family's daily needs. In most cases, the water they collect is contaminated. Every 37 seconds one person dies from water-related illnesses. This is a global water crisis.
Imagine that as little as $25 in the hands of Water mission could provide one person safe water for life. A donation of $500 could provide a latrine for sanitation in a community. Solar panels for an average-sized project are less than $1100. How much will you help us raise this year? It's time to #PickUpTheBucket.

Habitat for Humanity Faith Build Project Update
UUFB is partnered with other Beaufort area faith groups on the LowCountry Habitat for Humanity’s Faith Build House, located at 2523 Mossy Oaks Road. The house’s exterior is now in place, so the remaining volunteer work is ground-level and mostly indoors. The nature of the work will continue to change as the build progresses towards its targeted completion date around the end of August.
Effective July 18, LowCountry Habitat for Humanity has changed its volunteer sign-up process for the Faith Build. Now, volunteers from any faith group can
sign up directly on the Habitat site, in any combination, up to a limit of ten per day. Those who have completed the 1-hour orientation program can sign up for any Tuesday through Saturday they wish. However, we are identifying every Thursday and the occasional Saturday (8/3/19) as days for concentrations of UUFB volunteers. Working together will be a great opportunity to act on our values, to build relationship among our own members and friends and others, in a no-proselytizing interfaith experience.
Those who are interested, and have not yet completed a 1-hour orientation program may attend the next session on Saturday August 10 at 10am, at the Habitat office (616 Parris Island Gateway). Please call Lee McSavaney 843-522-3500 at the Habitat office to attend.
