Reparations Fund at BSU
We believe that justice requires action. That’s why, on January 27, 2019, our congregation voted to establish the Reparations Fund—a dedicated effort to support local people of color in their pursuit of higher education.
Grounded in the understanding that reparations are an essential step toward justice, healing, and reconciliation, this fund helps cover tuition, books, and other education expenses.
By donating to the Reparations Fund, you are empowering the futures of an INC and or Native students at BSU who have been historically denied access to educational opportunities.
Join us in this important work and donate to the Reparations Fund. Add in the notes section on Paypal that you’d like your gift to be given towards the reporations funds.
The Sharing Shelf: Give What You Can, Take What You Need
Stocked with non-perishable food, hygiene products, and other essential items, the Sharing Shelf operates on a simple principle: Give what you can, take what you need. No questions asked, no judgment—just neighbors helping neighbors.
If you’d like to contribute, donations are always welcome! If you could use a little extra support, please help yourself. Together, we can ensure that everyone in our community has access to the essentials they need.
