Other Awards Pages:
Inspired by a group of committed young adults, Mutual Aid of Carrboro realizes that the tradition of Unitarian Universalism demands that we explore other forms of religious community through which to bring our saving message to the world. Rev. Hollister and Madison Hayes shared some of that vision with us.
