Hunger and Housing

Food Donations
Please bring NONPERISHABLE food donations to USG for delivery to St. Vincent’s Food Pantry.
- select smaller size containers, rather than giant-size
- check expiration dates
- put your donations in a clean, sturdy bag or box
- and then bring them to USG on any Sunday morning (or on a weekday between 10:00am and 2:00pm; park in the courtyard and buzz the office) and leave them on a designated food cart in the kitchen. Collected items will be taken to St. Vincent’s Food Pantry on second Tuesdays for distribution.
Starting the first weekend of January, we will be hosting the same family who we hosted in September as they seek more permanent housing with support from Family Promise of Philadelphia. Let’s help them feel warmly wanted and welcomed in this big stone building!
USG has participated in Rebuilding Philly block builds for many years and we have an experienced leader in George Buckman. Currently they fall in mid-October. Contact rebuildingphilly@usguu.org for more info.
Working on the RTP houses is a fun and rewarding tradition at USG. We have worked with amazing people over the years and strengthened our relations with each other. Anyone who has participated will confirm how rewarding it is.
