Raise The Vote. 
UUCLV members have the opportunity to support democracy and raise money for the congregation! 


Raise the Vote gives local businesses and groups the opportunity to raise money for their organization or their favorite nonprofit by working at a Clark County polling place during an election.


Under the Raise the Vote program UUCLV members and friends can volunteer their time to work at a polling place, and the money they earn is paid directly to UUCLV.​
