Fort Massey United Church Women (UCW) groups have been in
existence since 1962. The Fort Massey UCW meets regularly for
fellowship, and participates in the different activities within
the church.
The UCW have four major fund-raising activities a year: The
Valentine Tea, Spring Flea Market, Fall Flea Market and the
Christmas Tea and Sale. Funds raised at these events make vital
contributions to the life and work of Fort Massey, and the local
community. Some of the community groups that are recipients of
the Fort Massey UCW fundraising are:
Brunswick Street United Church Program,
Parker
Street Food
and Furniture Bank,
Salvation
Army,
Stepping
Stone and
Arthur Kidston Camp.
The Fort Massey UCW is active in outreach in Halifax. They
provide hot casseroles for
Hope Cottage, which is a charitable organization
that provides meals to those can't afford them. Showers are also
held for
Adsum House, to provide toiletries and other
supplies for those women and children who are finding shelter
there.
Our local church family is also supported by UCW activities.
This includes providing flowers in the sanctuary and
refreshments for Coffee and Conversation times following
worship.
