Freeze Night Program: On designated nights when the weather is predicted to reach 30 degrees, or raining and 37 degrees, our church operates as a shelter for 50 homeless men screened by Austin Resource Center for the Homeless and brought to the church by bus. We need volunteers to help feed and assist our guests during their stay with us. We accept donations of personal hygiene items or rain/cold gear.

NAMI Walk: National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is “a volunteer network of families, consumers, friends, and concerned professionals working together to improve the quality of life for those affected by severe and persistent mental illness. Our goal is to enable each individual affected by a major brain disorder to live the best life possible. NAMI Austin provides a place to meet and learn from others and to let others learn from you.” Our church provides support to NAMI by joining or sponsoring the UU Team for the annual fundraising walk in October.
