As a member of the SEARCH Council of Congregations, Unity of Houston will participate in World Homeless Weekend, a time to raise awareness, provide service opportunities, pray, or advocate for some of the most marginalized and vulnerable members of our city. We join with other congregations of all faiths in raising the consciousness in our city.

Unity in the Community will create and pass out cards on Sunday, October 12, to pray for homeless persons during the service. Mike Nichols, Director of the Housing and Community Development Department for the City of Houston, will give a BRIEF update on homelessness during the service.

We will also be collecting toiletries on September 28, October 5, and October 12 to donate to The Beacon homeless day shelter. Soap, shampoo, shaving cream, disposable razors, lotion, toothbrushes and toothpaste are all needed. Any type and size, from hotel complimentary sizes to gallon jugs, all are useable and appreciated.
