We believe that faith calls us to action at Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church. Throughout Scripture, God commands us to care for the vulnerable, provide shelter for the homeless, and extend love to those in need. This mission drives our deep commitment to supporting families experiencing homelessness in Austin. One of the most powerful ways we are living out this call is through our partnership with the Foundation for the Homeless (FFH) and Peace Lutheran Church’s Peace Family Housing Project, a collaborative effort to provide transitional housing for families in crisis.
April 3 - 14 | During 9 & 11 am Worship
We will receive a special offering for One Great Hour of Sharing which supports hunger, poverty, and disaster assistance programs of the PCUSA. This is one of two special denomination-wide offerings we collect a year to make a significant impact in our world.
Through the Mobile Loaves & Fishes (MLF) food truck ministry, volunteers provide food, clothing, hygiene products and other life-sustaining items to our unhoused neighbors 7 nights a week, 365 days a year. WHPC is responsible for make-ready on the first and second Sundays of every month.
The Meal Prep Team works together for an hour preparing the food that will be distributed off the delivery trucks. The commissary where the food prep takes place is just a mile from WHPC at St. John’s Newman Catholic Church. This is a great intergenerational opportunity to do alongside your kids!

The Truck Run team takes the food that was prepared by the make-ready team and drives the meals to the unhoused all around Austin. This is a great opportunity to encounter the unhoused and bless them with food as well as your presence. This is also a great way to introduce your teenager to poverty and other social issues in Austin.
The truck runs start and end at St. John’s Newman Catholic Church, just a mile away from WHPC.
