For more than ten years, First UU Austin has provided volunteers to help serve the chef-prepared cafeteria-style dinners at the ARCH, Austin’s downtown homeless shelter. We provide that service on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month from 5 – 7 p.m.
In order to fill this service need, we need one to two volunteers for each Sunday we agree to help. It’s an opportunity to connect with our homeless neighbors, an often rewarding and transformative act. The clients served are approved for spending the night in the shelter. Scott Butki leads the group, and utilizing an email list of volunteers, announces openings for service. The work itself is easy.
