Hands on Housing [official site]
In October and April, the young adults lead the church in the revnovation of houses for people who cannot afford to pay for such services. This activity is sponsored by Austin Area Interreligious Ministries. This project is seen as an opportunity for building relationships across Austin as representatives from different communities within Austin work together to provide housing for several families. Training workshops are led by AMM for the volunteers who work on the houses.

Interfaith Hospitality Network [official site]
One month each quarter, our church joins other sponsors to host newly homeless families for one week, providing lodging and meals, as well as support and encouragement as they look for jobs and independence. Volunteers from the church also transport bedding between churches, as well as provide child care and other services for the weeklong residents in our church facilities.
