Social Action/Justice

Family Promise: This is one of two major social action projects for the 2008-9 congregational year. Homeless families with children will be invited to sleep at West Seattle churches, receive dinner, breakfast and a sack lunch.

Churches will take a week at a time. Our congregation is partnering with Tibbetts Methodist Church who will be the host for housing. We will provide the food and companionship including staying overnight--for three nights or so of the week they stay there. To help with food, tutoring children, playing with children, sleeping overnight, contact the church office to get contact information for Eileen Duffy, our co-coordinator. See list of items needed to be donated.

Habitat for Humanity: We are breaking ground on the Puget Sound UU habitat build, right here in High Point, West Seattle. To help, contact Viv Monahan (contact our church office to get her contact information).
