Habitat Interfaith Alliance

Prairie UU is a long-time member of the Habitat Interfaith Alliance, partnering with other churches and synagogues to help build a house each year. 

This is HIA’s 25th year!!
On Saturday, April 11 we will be helping build a new house alongside members of First Universalist Church. If you’re interested, there are two options:
Put on your jeans and grab some gloves, and help with the construction
OR
Help provide lunch for the group.
If you’d like to volunteer for either part, please contact Deena Lawrence at 303-809-0661 or deenal@prairieuu.org.

Bridge House Ready to Work

Volunteers Needed

Since the first of the year, Jenny S. has revived Prairie’s connection to volunteering at Bridge House Ready to Work. Once a month, she takes 5 dozen cupcakes to the birthday party for residents who are celebrating that month. Sometimes Shirley, Jenny R. and granddaughter, Molly, have helped but more volunteers are needed, especially since Molly returns to college this week.
The cupcakes need to be delivered to Bridge House on the third Thursday of each month before the afternoon party.
Please contact Jenny S. to volunteer dozen or more cupcakes. Thank you!

A generous offer from Joanna Shukert, of our Prairie Community…
If any of you are considering buying or selling a home, or know someone who is, I’m offering to donate half my net commission from any transaction originating from a Prairie member. The funds will be donated directly to Prairie in your name. As you know, home prices have doubled in recent years (along with real estate commissions), so I’m happy to make this offer on an ongoing basis. I’ve worked as a Denver realtor for 15 years and have been in the top 5-10% of HomeSmart agents over the past 3 years. I’d be honored to assist with any buy or sell transaction in the metro area. I also offer free advice or guidance on anything real estate related, so please reach out anytime if I can help.
Please email Joanna to learn more!
