Hands on
Housing [official

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.

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.
