Strawberry Creek Friends are active in many peace, social justice, and environmental organizations. The meeting is especially concerned with the issue of climate change. One of the meeting's responses to this concern is the Dime A Gallon Dream Fund. Participation is voluntary. Friends "tax" themselves ten cents for each gallon or energy equivalent of gasoline they use. The funds have been used to purchase compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Strawberry Creek Nominating Process

This process, also known as the Strawberry Creek Method, has been adopted by a number of meetings as a helpful way to discern the gifts that members and attenders bring to committee work. This process is exceptionally useful when the committee is having some trouble with a particular position, but is not always practical for filling every position. Information about the process can be found in Spiritual Discernment within the Nominating Process by Perry Treadwell, most recently printed in the October 2005 edition of Friends Journal . The text can also be found on the web site of Camden Monthly Meeting.
