Share the Plate is a UCN program to support non-profit charitable organizations whose humanitarian and social justice goals reflect our UU principles.
CURRENT RECIPIENT
November - December, 2026
Coalition On Lead Emergency (COLE) is the next Share the Plate recipient. The goals of COLE are to prevent and respond to lead poisoning in Milwaukee. They do so in partnerships with those impacted by lead poisoning including families, faith leaders, neighborhood-based organizations, environmentalists,
health care systems, academics, workforce development providers, non-profits, community activists, and dedicated volunteers.
COLE seeks an end to childhood lead poisoning in Milwaukee through policy changes, legislative action, governmental accountability, and infusion of substantial private/public funding for strategic work.
Additional services include:
- Creating training and employment pathways to do lead abatement work.
- Engaging and supporting parents and families impacted by lead poisoning.
- Providing families with resources to help children lower lead levels in the home.
- Educating the community in lead poisoning prevention.
Half of the donations for November and December will go to Coalition on Lead Emergency. You can donate using PayPal or Breeze at www.ucnorth.org. Checks should include “STP” on the memo line. Your generosity to support moving towards a lead-free Milwaukee is greatly appreciated!
