St Andrew's missions supports many local area organizations and causes. Listed below are just a few of those projects.

Interfaith Coalition for the Homeless (ICH) offers food and shelter for homeless in Tucson. St. Andrew's has supported a Winter Homeless program for 18 years. Through this program we have provided homeless men with three meals a day, showers, clean linens and towels plus the intangibles of companionship and fellowship for 4 weeks. Part of this program is directed at assisting these men in finding employment.

Habitat for Humanity is part of a nationwide program that builds homes for low-income families. Since late 1997 members of St. Andrew's goal was to building one Habitat house every few years. Our first home was completed in 1998 through the contributions of members' time, talent and money. We have now completed 3 houses and working on our 4th home here in Tucson.

Refugee Ministry is a local organization focused on sharing Christ's love with nations in our own backyard. There are new refugee families arriving in Tucson every week who need help navigating in this strange, new country. They need a friend! This is a good opportunity for Christians to welcome them, embrace them, come alongside them and show them Christ.
