Bazaar 2025 Updates!

Thank you for checking in at our Bazaar 2025 Updates Page! We will keep you up to date over the next few weeks as we ramp up for our fall event that welcomes back everyone from the community to eat great food, shop for fresh produce, stock up for delicious desserts, and to fellowship with one another!

Leslie Okura and the gang prepare for Bazaar!

This year’s Blaine Memorial UMC Bazaar will benefit Tsuru for Solidarity – “Tsuru for Solidarity is a nonviolent, direct action project of Japanese American social justice advocates and allies working to end detention sites and support directly impacted immigrant and refugee communities that are being targeted by racist, inhumane immigration policies.” Read more.

What is Tsuru for Solidarity?

This year’s Benefit Bazaar Beneficiary is Tsuru for Solidarity. Tsuru for Solidarity’s mission is to: 

  • Educate, advocate, and protest to close all U.S. concentration camps
  • Build solidarity with other communities of color that have experienced forced removal, detention, deportation, separation of families, and other forms of racial and state violence
  • Coordinate intergenerational, cross-community healing circles addressing the trauma of our shared histories

More details to come! Please save this date and contact the Church Office for questions regarding Bazaar!
