Members, including two who have lived in Thailand, made authentic Thai dishes and decorated with items from that country. More than 40 people joined the festivities, including folks from as far away as Enfield Center, New Hampshire. The church raised $700 for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England’s Claremont Health Center. Planned Parenthood provides essential health services to women and men. General health care and reproductive health care and referrals are available. The Claremont health center also offers the New Hampshire Family Planning Program for income-eligible individuals and families. The Springfield UU Church is pleased to support Planned Parenthood at this time when access to health care – both in general and reproductive services in particular - is under threat in the U.S., according to a press release from the church. More information about Planned Parenthood’s services can be found at https://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-center/new-hampshire/claremont/... or by calling (603) 542-4568.
