Newsletters & Toast Talks

Toast Talks are a series of information sessions during which members of the FIRST UNITED team offer updates, insights, and information about our work to our communities of faith, volunteers, donors, stakeholders, and friends. To make sure you never miss out on invitations to Toast Talks, subscribe to our emails.

Clarke, Board Chair, and Amanda Burrows, Executive Director, who share some of the highlights and accomplishments of the last fiscal year.

Thank you for joining us!

For this Fall 2023 edition of Toast Talks, we shared FIRST UNITED news and redevelopment updates, including the newest First Forward PSA and a demolition time-lapse video. We also had more time to share stories and memories from our old building at 320 East Hastings. Watch the video to hear all of the special memories!

Thank you to everyone who shared their memories of the building with us!
