The UUMC community believes in helping its neighbors. Fulfilling a longstanding Methodist commitment to mission and social justice, UUMC members put their beliefs into action by serving less fortunate individuals in a variety of ways. For example:

“I was hungry and you gave me food”: UUMC’s Open Doors Ministry serves more than 300 men, women & children breakfast and lunch every Saturday.

“I was a stranger and you welcomed me”: As part of the Interfaith Hospitality Network, UUMC provides housing to families with children who are temporarily without a place to stay.

“I was naked and you clothed me”: The Fig Leaf Store, operated on UUMC’s fourth floor, gathers donated clothing and housewares and distributes them to those in need.

“I was sick and you took care of me”: Volunteers with Interfaith Care Alliance assist people with AIDS or other life-threatening illnesses.

“I was in prison and you visited me”: Loveworks mentors provide support to children of incarcerated parents and their families.
