Day of Giving
On March 23, United Women in Faith celebrates a “Day of Giving” to raise funds for The Legacy Endowment Fund
Why March 23? Because on that date in 1869 a group of eight intrepid women founded the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, an organization that was the forerunner of United Women in Faith. To fulfill their vision of creating educational opportunities and providing health care to women in India, these founding women asked others to contribute “their prayers and two pennies.” In this way a movement of faith and generosity in action was born.
Join the Facebook Event on March 23 and hear from members and staff how your giving can help make a better future today.
