Making a Donation to a Share the Plate Collection
To make a contribution to the Share the Plate cause, you may put cash or a check into the collection basket. If you use a check, make it payable to C3HUU and, in the memo line, write “STP” or the name of the cause. For example, if an appeal has been made on behalf of IFC and you want to donate, write either “STP” or “IFC” on the memo line.
If you write a check and do not indicate that you want it to go to the STP cause on the memo line, it will be applied to your church pledge or be added to the general operating fund of the church.
