Center for Alternatives in Community Justice

 COMING UP!

LIVE UNITED - LIVE 2        DECEMBER 4 at 6pm





Our 38^th annual Alternative Christmas Fair will take place “virtually” this year, December 6 through December 20, due to COVID-19 concerns. On those days holiday “shoppers” can donate to 30 local, national, and international charities. A quick trip to https://ubbcwelcome.org/acf will show you how to give online or by check. You can also use the QR code below to access the online shopping center via your mobile device.

Last year, 26 charities shared in more than $43,000 that was given by people in our community. While we miss the opportunity to have representatives of our beneficiaries gather in Fellowship Hall to meet and talk with our “shoppers,” (we’ll do that again next year) we are excited at being able to offer to our patrons the ease of online giving. And the extra “space” we gain by not being in a physical place has allowed us to add four new organizations for 2020.

Here are the organizations to which you may donate:

PAST EVENT

Constitution Day – 2020

 The annual Constitution Day event was postponed at Tussey Mountain due to COVID-19 concerns and reset for September 2021.  CACJ has been an active participant for years, representing the Eighth Amendment.

This year the Constitution Day Centre Celebration will go virtual with a series of videos and live Zoom lectures throughout the fall.

The local nonprofit organization that organizes this important event aims to educate residents about the impact of the Constitution on our daily lives, promote civics education, and bring together people of all ages, backgrounds, and political beliefs to support our democracy.

The virtual schedule includes videos celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote, the 233th birthday of the Constitution, and Voting Matters.  Educator Dr. Greg Ferro will give live Zoom talks on Constitutional topics on three dates.  Go to www.constitutiondaycentre.org for event dates and information. They are open to the public, with registration required for the Zoom talks.
