Micah 6 Food Pantry Is Going Strong

Every Thursday night from 6:00-7:30 pm and every Saturday morning from 10:30am -12:00pm, UPC hosts the Micah 6 Food Pantry, a service which helps 200 families per week in the Austin area. UPC is part of a partnership of university area churches called Micah 6. Each congregation serves the local area with a form of service. Click here to learn how the different congregations participate.

The coalition of churches takes its name from Micah 6:8:

What does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

The Micah 6 Food Pantry is one way that our university area churches try to live according to this question.

Austin Agape is a part of this ministry as well. Our students are invited to serve as volunteers. They have discovered that the pantry itself is a partnership as well. Our congregation helps to distribute food to those who are in need, and the clients teach us so much through their stories and gifts.

We are thankful to house such an important ministry right under our roof!
