ARCH – Austin Resource Center for the Homeless
First UU members support ARCH in a variety of ways:
Sack Lunch Program
Teams meet every Monday to meet in the church kitchen or in members’ homes, make 30 sack lunches and deliver to the working homeless at the ARCH.

Freeze Night Shelter
We offer Freeze Night Shelters on Tuesdays from November through February when the weather is predicted to be 32 degrees or 37 degrees and raining. On these nights our church operates as a shelter for 50 homeless men who have been vetted by ARC. We need volunteers to bring food items, setup, serve, cleanup or assist our guests during their stay with us.
