The Interfaith Hospitality Network Program affords UUSM members and friends the opportunity to provide shelter, meals,
and support services to families without homes.
Hosting rotates weekly among the host congregations in our network. In turn, each host congregation provides lodging, three meals
daily, and welcoming care. Volunteers provide various services, including
- Cooking and serving meals
-
Playing with children or helping them with homework
-
Interacting with guests, with respect and compassion
If you would like to find out more about our participation in the Interfaith Hospitality Network Program, please contact the church office.

IHN at UUSM on Dec. 14-21 |
|
We will host 4-5 homeless families at this special and tough time of year. We found last year that the holiday season is an especially rewarding time to provide a haven for families in need. We made gingerbread houses, played music, and enjoyed the children.
