University Christian Church is committed to Outreach in Austin and around the world and has allocated specific funds to support organizations and programs which serve those in need.

• Participation in CROP WALK each year gives UCC members a way to fight hunger both locally and around the world.
• Each Sunday non-perishable food is collected during worship to help feed area street youth ages 10-23 years, who are served a meal sponsored by VinCare at St. Austin's Catholic Parish. Our children bring the food forward during the offertory. During cold weather when the temperature drops below freezing, casseroles prepared by UCC members are taken to provide supper for area street youth who will be sleeping in nearby churches.
• UCC is a member of MICAH 6, a program sponsored by nine university area churches. Members of UCC bring non-food items for the food pantry located at University Baptist Church and volunteer at the pantry and serve on its committees.
• UCC supports WEEK OF COMPASSION, in partnership with CHURCH WORLD SERVICE, which is the relief and development fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Along with the Red Cross, it is one of the first agencies called upon by FEMA in times of disaster.
• Working with the refugee resettlement program through AUSTIN AREA INTERRELIGIOUS MINISTERIES, UCC has helped resettle three Bosnian refugee families and one from Afghanistan. Our congregation has also assisted a New Orleans family displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Members of UCC (above, left) greet a refugee family at the Austin airport.
• Members of UCC enjoy volunteering for the CAPITAL AREA FOOD BANK (above, right) and from time-to-time individual groups within our congregation perform a group outreach activity of their choosing.
