Affiliated with and predating current Social Action committee, the Second Friday Coffeehouse is Boston’s first and oldest all benefit coffeehouse. This committee is also unique at First Church in having only one business meeting per year to review tasks, decide on beneficiaries, and discuss any issues which may arise. The committee operates collectively and makes decisions by consensus with each member taking responsibility for specific tasks. Committee members tasks are setup, baking, selling baked goods and coffee, sound, lights, cleanup, MCing, publicity, etc. We are social activists who love music.
Nine Fridays each year are devoted to raising funds for human service, social justice, Unitarian affiliated and environmental groups, while also providing an enjoyable evening of music, poetry, storytelling and delicious desserts. Projects associated with the Social Action programs of First Church include Renewal House, Grow Clinic, Partner Church and Partakers. During the 2007-2008 season, the coffeehouse raised $7,756.42 to fund social action programs. The coffeehouse will celebrate 25 years of music and service in 2009.
