Souper Bowl of Caring
Each year during the weeks before the Super Bowl, the congregation at United Church collects thousands of cans of soup for the Valley View Food Bank.
During the remainder of the year, we regularly collect food for the Valley View Food Bank: Canned vegetables, canned fruit, canned tuna fish or canned chicken, peanut butter and jelly, canned spaghetti, canned meat, and boxed mac & cheese.
Dysart Community Center
Shortly after the church’s founding, Dr. Walter Witt, our first pastor, was instrumental in starting an outreach to migrant workers in El Mirage. Known as the Dysart Community Center, our church still supports this vibrant program which offers English as a Second Language classes, after school latchkey programming, athletic programs, tutoring, supplemental food, etc. Eligible for the Arizona "Working Poor" credit; many of our members appreciate the tax credit available for their contributions to Dysart.
Missions
The Mission Board sponsors an annual School Supply Drive, Blanket and Sock Drive, Bountiful Harvest Table, Souper Bowl of Caring Soup Drive, and a Pet Food and Toys Drive. It relies on contributions received from United Church of Sun City members, family and friends to help continue charitable programs in the west valley communities. We are grateful for the generous support that enables us to continue offering our mission outreach.
The Mission Board outreach funds are given to organizations and agencies that address the challenges faced by older adults, disadvantaged children, low-income families, victims of domestic abuse and those in need of compassionate care including:
