How You Can Support WHUUF Financially
Make an Annual Pledge
Pledges are so important to our fellowship. Because we know we can count on those funds, we can budget wisely and plan ahead. It’s pledged funds that have enabled us to engage our wonderful minister full-time, as well as bringing on board an audio-visual technologist to help us offer our services online. You can pay your pledge in monthly, quarterly, or annual installments, whatever works best for you. We can even help you arrange auto-pay! Contact admin at whuuf dot org for more information.
Want to double your impact? Check with your employer to see if they match charitable donations. And if you are 70½ or older and want to fund your pledge from a 401(k), you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution tax-free! Consult your financial or legal advisor for more information.
Join in the Fun of Our Annual Auction
Our auction, held every year in the fall, is a favorite WHUUF tradition. It’s a joyful evening full of fun, fellowship, and fundraising. You can give by donating auction items or by buying them. There are always items for nearly every budget. Many local businesses donate gift cards or services. And it’s always great to see how creative our members get with their donations! Check out the Auction Team’s page for more info.
Leave a Legacy
Making a planned gift is a lovely way to help ensure that WHUUF will continue to grow in compassionate community for many years to come. So please consider WHUUF when you plan your end-of-life bequests. Consult your financial or legal advisor for more information. Our treasurer would be happy to work with you to arrange this. You can reach him at treasurer at whuuf dot org.
Sunday Basket
You can put a donation in the basket at our Sunday services. It’s a great way to start talking to your kids about sharing your abundance. Most of the time these donations help with our expenses. And when we contribute them to partner organizations on Donate the Basket Sundays, these funds serve others and build bridges with other groups that share our values.
BottleDrop
Here’s how BottleDrop works:
~ Get BottleDrop blue bags (with barcoded sticker) at WHHUF. The bags are in this marked bin to the left of the front door.
~ Fill your blue bag with refundable beverage containers (plastic, aluminum, glass–no need to sort). Note: 20 lb limit!
~ Take your blue bag to one of BottleDrop’s many locations. DO NOT DROP THEM AT WHUUF!!! The facilities nearest to WHUUF are at:
- 14411 SW Pacific Hwy, Tigard, OR 97224- 6am to 10pm daily (a facility only for Bottle Drop)

~Find the Drop Door, scan the barcoded tag using the scanner located below the door (see white arrow below), and when the green light comes on, open the door and put your bottles in. That’s it! BottleDrop employees will count the containers and WHUUF will receive $$ for them.
