Olive Oil Ministry

UUCA is a member of the Olive Oil Ministry (OOM) along with two dozen other churches. This all-volunteer ecumenical project is sponsored by the Middle East Committee of Westmoreland Congregational UCC Church in Bethesda, Maryland.

Through OOM, NoVA-UUJME takes orders for olive oil and other food products to raise awareness about the realities on the ground in the Holy Land and to help support Palestinians in their struggle for justice, economic viability and defense of their rights.

Here’s an OOM order form listing available items and their prices. Send your order to: NOVAUUJME@gmail.com
