Homeless Outreach Project
Our Mission Recognizing the “inherent worth and dignity of every person,” the Homeless Outreach Project brings awareness of the homelessness crisis to our congregation and creates opportunities to help our unhoused neighbors.
Our Work In partnership with local agencies, the committee provides financial, in-kind, and hands-on support for disadvantaged members of our community. This includes support to REACH, which provides case management to those living outdoors. Committee members prepare and serve meals at Family Kitchen as well as the Bethlehem Inn shelter. The Homeless Outreach Project also supports Safe Parking at UUFCO so that a few homeless households have a safe place to park.
Our History and Impact UUFCO actively began its work on homelessness in 2019 in helping establish REACH, which works with 500-600 individuals per month. Hundreds of meals are prepared and served monthly by members of our congregation working at Family Kitchen. And in 2022, Safe Parking was established at UUFCO.
