Share the Plate is a First Church social justice ministry that shares 50% of all non-pledge cash in the church’s weekly offering plate with non-profit organizations in the Milwaukee metro area. The work of recipient organizations is also highlighted in various ways: during church services; at the Social Justice table during coffee hour; in the Chanticleer; and on the Share the Plate page on the Church’s website.
There are opportunities for you to become more directly involved in our Share the Plate endeavors. Please consider nominating a deserving organization addressing issues that are close to your heart.
Some criteria for Share the Plate eligibility are as follows: the organization is a non-profit, providing services in the greater Milwaukee area; and the work focuses on serving one or more of a range of economically and socially challenged populations.
