Potato Drop is an annual event hosted by UCM at Christopher Newport! Over 50 student volunteers help make this event possible each year, as we reach out to our wider community to those in need. UCM serves the entire CNU community from a Mainline Protestant perspective. UCM maintains a broad-based understanding of faith and an openness to learn from those whose views differ from our own. Persons of any faith – or no faith – are valued and invited to participate in all our activities. We collaborate with students, faculty, staff, and the community to incorporate the spiritual dimension in all of life. We provide a context of acceptance, where issues and beliefs can be explored safely without fear of judgment. We promote mutual understanding and cooperation through interfaith dialogue. "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you." (John 13:34)
