On the first Tuesday of each month, UUMC provides the team of volunteers that help prepare and serve the meal at El Caldito Soup Kitchen.
El Caldito is a community based volunteer organization, with 3 part-time employees (a kitchen manager, a security guard, and a custodian). Dedicated volunteers perform all the tasks necessary in a kitchen to process and store food, prepare and serve meals, and clean up afterwards. We are open 8AM to 1PM preparing and serving a midday meal.

Join Outreach Director Brian Townsend out in our garden for a short devotional starting at 8:45am and then chat about life, faith, and whatever else is on your heart.

Our pantry receives the delivery from Roadrunner. Come help our volunteers get ready to hand out food baskets on the 1st and 3rd week of each month.

Take a deeper dive into the scripture readings for that upcoming Sunday each week. This small group is led by Rev. George Miller of El Calvario UMC, Rev. Dr. Heike Miller of University UMC, and local Certified Lay Ministers.

*(1st & 3rd Thurs. via ZOOM

2nd & 4th Thurs. @ University UMC).

God’s Pantry is our emergency food pantry. The pantry is open on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month from 9-11am. On the 1st Friday of each month we also host our God’s Pantry Cafe, which is a time to spend getting to know the clients with coffee and yummy treats.

Our wonderful volunteers distribute food to those in our local community in need of help. We are partnering with Roadrunner food bank of the Southwest. Roadrunner food bank is a partner with Feeding America the larger food distributor of our nation, where we are able to purchase food at an extremely reasonable cost. RRFB also is partnered with USDA and Health Services Department to bring the pantries free food to distribute to the clients. Even with all of these great opportunities we highly encourage and accept donations of canned goods and other non-perishable items from our congregation. Donations of food can be dropped off at UUMC Monday-Friday during office hours or Sunday morning.
