Social Ministry

Upper Dublin Lutheran Church is committed to be a blessing to our community. The blessing happens when people find ways to care for others. We support active ministries that utilize the gifts we are given by God to serve others.

ONE HOUSE AT A TIME – (OHAAT)

This is a UDLC-based outreach whose mission is ‘to provide household furnishings to families lacking the basic necessities of life.” Since 1998, OHAAT has helped families earning less than $7,500 per year who are in need of furniture and have multiple children.

“ Beds for Kids”

The program makes a profound difference for families, last year over 200 families were helped.  OneHouse at a Time is always looking for volunteers from UDLC or the community to help make furniture deliveries, or pick up donated furniture from local residents! Many Saturday mornings, we deliver to the Philadelphia region. We have a lot of room in our storage shed at UDLC! Volunteers can call the church office, or One House number at 215-646-7812 to inquire how to get involved. Read more…at  www.ohaat.org
