Offering: Here at Westminster, we share our offering every month with a different organization that shares our values or our mission. Our December Share the Plate is the weR1 Rhode Island Fund, a collaborative effort between government, community, and philanthropic organizations to raise $3 million to provide no-fee debit cards to Rhode Islanders. This program is especially for undocumented and immigrants with urgent need who are excluded from many federal programs. To donate www.westminsteruu.org/donate
