An important part of the ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains is social action. Our congregation is actively supporting a number of local social service agencies, among them Habitat for Humanity, Hospitality House, the Manzanita Family Center that provides temporary shelter for families who would otherwise be homeless, and the Interfaith Food Ministry.

Words of Inspiration

"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places close to home -- so close and so small they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet, they are the world of the individual person: the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerned citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world."

Eleanor Roosevelt
