| United Thank Offering One of the main projects of ECW on a nation-wide level is the United Thank Offering. The women of the ECW distribute collection boxes and envelopes to Episcopalians throughout the US. Each person over the course of several months, drops a bit of small change into the box as a thanksgiving for an event (however small) in their lives. The boxes are emptied, and converted into checks or cash, and brought to church on the UTO "In-Gathering" Sunday. The funds collected through these efforts are substantial, and help to fund a variety of efforts world-wide, such as disaster relief, medical aid and scholarships. Click HereTo Learn more about UTO |
