2004 WALKERS REACH $4800 MARK!!   

The Bud Rue Memorial Walk for Social Justice is the pride and joy of the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Held every October, the Walk affirms the UU principles of social justice, by raising funds for local organizations which aid these causes. Since its inception in 1993, by community activist and UDUUF charter member (you guessed it) Bud Rue, the Walk has raised over $38,000. Last year alone, $4800 was distributed to support 8 local social justice organizations.  This year the following 4 charities will be supported:

Victims Intervention Program (VIP) ), Honesdale, PA
Offers emergency assistance for battered and abused individuals and attempts to resolve difficulties through legal and counseling channels.

Habitat for Humanity Honesdale, PA & Harris, NY
Builds homes with low income families. Offers no interest and no profit mortgage while home-owners-to- be put in "sweat equity" by helping with construction,and organizational tasks.

Rape Intervention Service & Education (RISE) , Monticello, NY
Offers assistance to victims of sexual assault, including listening, counseling and facilitating medical and legal services.
