Social Justice
Social Justice is our name for the numerous ways that Unitarian Universalists are called to make change for the better in the world beyond our church. From our 19th century leadership in the abolition and woman's suffrage movements, to 20th century participation in civil rights, rights for LGBTQ persons and the women's movement, to current issues such as gun control, immigrant right and climate change, you will always find Unitarian Universalists working to bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice.
Tuesday Drop-In Program
Every Tuesday, from 8 - 11:30am, our church, in partnership with the North Hollywood Home Alliance and several local religious communities hosts a drop-in program for our homeless neighbors. We provide a comfortable place to relax under the shade in our front yard. We provide a breakfast of oatmeal or cereal and coffee. We set up a "charging station" for folks to power-up their devices. We open our "clothes closet" and distribute donated clothes and other items. The City of Los Angeles provides a shower truck. At the end of the morning we provide lunch. Occasionally, service providers from LA County will join us to offer more comprehensive social services.
North Hollywood Interfaith Food Pantry
Every Sunday our congregation collects donations of canned goods and other foods in support of this community program housed at the First Christian Church.
UU the Vote is a nonpartisan civic engagement initiative focused on strengthening democracy and organizing for justice, accountability, and healing.

Shared Earth Project
The Shared Earth Project is an organic vegetable garden and fruit orchard on our church grounds established with the goal of growing food to donate to the local Interfaith Food Pantry and more recently to supplement the food prepared for the Tuesday Homeless Drop-in program. If you would like to join our team of dedicated volunteers, we’d welcome you at our meeting and work party at 9:00 AM on September 28! We’ll meet in the vegetable garden. Contact Mary Sager McFadden for more information.
