Interfaith Hospitality Network

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.

What are Interfaith Hospitality Networks?

IHN programs vary from community to community, reflecting local needs and resources.  To find out more about the San Mateo Interfaith Hospitality Network, please see their website.

 

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

— Frederick Douglass
