The Social Action Ministry (SAM) at First Parish comes from our Unitarian Universalist faith based on the values of love, justice, community and responsibility. We do this within the supportive environment of our broader church community and the mission of First Parish “…to act on our values to serve the larger community and create a more just and loving world.”

UU Urban Ministry
The following is from a letter that Susan from the UU Urban Ministry sent to Al Jacobson and members of First Parish:
“Thank you so much for the lovely gift baskets you delivered to the Urban Ministry for people we serve through our youth program and our affordable housing community. The bags were so thoughtfully created and the individuals who received them felt so touched by your generosity. Thanks for all the support you offer to the work we do in Roxbury and we trust that you know – we could not do this work/ministry without you and your support and thoughtfulness. Many good wishes to you in 2017.”
