Grocery Certificates
You’re going to buy food and drink anyway, why not do it through the certificate program so that the BVUUF benefits?
The program works like this:
Retailers such as Safeway, Wild Oats, King Soopers, and LiquorMart sell certificates to the BVUUF at less than face value. For example, BVUUF purchases a $100 certificate from King Soopers for only $95. You buy the certificates from BVUUF at their face value. For example, you buy a $100 certificate for $100. Take your certificates to the corresponding retailer and use them just like cash. It’s a “win-win” situation for the BVUUF and for you. The BVUUF gets a small percentage of the money that you spend for grocery and drink purchases, and the purchasing power of your hard-earned money is not diminished.
Certificates are available at the certificate table during coffee immediately after services — look for the banner. For more information, contact Elizabeth Robinson at CouponSales@theuufellowship.org.
Good Coffee
Enjoy coffee? Here are a few reasons that you should buy shade grown coffee from the BVUUF:
- Shade grown. ‘Ordinary’ coffee is typically grown in the full sun, which means that large swaths of rainforest had to be cut down to make space for the coffee trees. This coffee is shade grown, under the rain forest canopy, thus preserving the rain forest. Buy a bag and help live out the 7th UU principle.
- Fair trade. The farmers that produced this coffee were paid a fair price for the coffee.
- Organic. All of the varieties available for sale are organically grown.
- Delicious. Try a bag! You’ll agree that this coffee is far superior to ‘ordinary’ coffee that you might buy in a can from your grocery
- Support the BVUUF. We get a percentage of all coffee sales.
A large variety of coffee, in both whole bean and pre-ground, caffeinated and decaf, is available at the ‘coffee table’ before, during, and after services each Sunday. The price is $12 for a one-pound bag. Our coffee is obtained from Peace Coffee Company. Visit their site to read more about them and their fair trade, shade-grown coffee.

Books
If you buy items from online retailers Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble, then you can make those purchases in such a way such that a percentage of your purchase is refunded back to the BVUUF.
What could be easier? Rather than accessing the retailer’s web site the way that you normally do, instead begin by clicking one of the links below. The retailer’s web site will ‘know’ that you started your visit to them on the BVUUF website, and will credit our account with a percentage of your purchase amount.
