Bold action, like faith, takes courage. Our bravery is inspired by God’s love and our powerful commitment to improve the lives of women, children and youth. United Women in Faith works for justice through compassionate service and advocacy to change unfair policies and systems that harm women, children and youth—from racial and gender injustice to economic inequality, climate issues and more.

Showered In Grace In June 2022 there was a big upheaval in the unhoused community in Anchorage, during COVID-19 one of the event arenas that is owned by the city had been used as a safe indoor space to house the unhoused. But at the end of June it was closed, there was not a plan in place for where the over 200 individuals were to relocate to. The mayor decided to open the camp ground at the edge of town and allow people to camp and waive the cost, so almost 200 people were moved into the neighborhood where I live. This included families of young children, adults, teenagers, those who are differently abled, etc. all moved into a campground that has been neglected since the 1970's. There were no plans for meals, shelters, case management, or any services at all. This space is far from any other services that anyone could need, the closet grocery store is about a mile and a half away. ...from 11am-2pm we have had showers and free lunch for anyone who wants to participate. Each week there were new people come over and say they heard they could take a shower, and were excited the water was hot, and there was fresh clean towels. There were individuals that came each time I was there and were so excited to take a shower. We have averaged about 10-15 showers per day, there is not time limit so some people take longer than others, but they all appreciate having the opportunity.
