Social Responsibility is a central part of church life at First Parish and is expressed at all levels, including:

• housing the Roxbury-Weston Preschool in our buildings since 1966
  
  
• serving meals at Bristol Lodge in Waltham
  
  
• the Church School's Guest at Your Table, Christmas Toy ingathering programs, Heifer Project, Rice stick and Tea, and so many other projects
  
  
• the Outreach Committee's direct contributions of over $50,000 a year to area programs aiding victims of violence, homelessness and addressing the development needs of children
  
  
• Participation in the anti-racism efforts of Weston's ICARE (Interfaith Citizens Advocating Racial Equality)
  
  
• Sermons on racism, peace and other issues of social justice
