First United has been highly engaged in social justice efforts and many of our congregants work in fields that are committed to making a difference in our community and world.  Our social action is an integral part of our Christian faith.

Currently, we are involved in:

1. Community partnerships such as Centretown Laundry Co-op, selling fair trade products, offering a monthly luncheon to clients of the Canadian Mental Health Association and supporting the initiatives of Centre 507.
2. The “Westboro Regional Food Bank” and a “New to You Shop” are both housed within the building.
3. We also work for social justice throughout the world through advocacy, education, lobbying and participating in marches and rallies.
4. We are supportive of the efforts of The United Church of Canada through its Justice, Global, and Ecumenical Relations Unit.
5. We are supportive of the efforts of KAIROS, an organization of several churches engaged in social justice work.
6. We are presently sponsoring a refugee family from Darfur.
7. Many community groups and A.A groups meet within the building.
