Micah 6 of Austin

“What does the Lord require of you? To do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.”
— Micah 6:8

At Micah 6, we believe every person deserves dignity, compassion, and the comfort of a full meal. We’re more than just a food pantry and drop-in center for street youth — we’re a sanctuary of hope, a place where our neighbors can find support during their most challenging moments. Micah 6 of Austin has been an essential service to hungry folks in Austin for more than 20 years!

We welcome all individuals to participate fully in our programs, regardless of race, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation.

Do Justice

Do justice by engaging in honest conversations, seeking understanding across differences, and standing up for fairness in our community. Whether through education, advocacy, or everyday choices, pursue what is right by treating others with dignity and working to ensure that systems and opportunities are equitable for all. Doing justice means not staying silent in the face of inequality, but stepping in with courage, compassion, and a commitment to the common good.

At Micah 6 of Austin, we love kindness by compassionately serving all who come to us for assistance, recognizing the inherent worth and humanity in every person. Kindness means meeting needs without judgment, offering hospitality with open hearts, and walking alongside our neighbors in times of hardship. It’s a posture of grace — showing up with empathy, patience, and the willingness to care deeply, just as God has shown kindness to us.

Walk Humbly

We walk humbly by listening first, learning from those we serve, and recognizing that we don’t have all the answers. We create space for reflection and growth, valuing every voice and fostering trust. Humility calls us to collaborate rather than control, to lead with compassion, and to stay focused on the well-being of the community. Real change happens through partnership, shared leadership, and mutual respect.

Testimonials

  • "I've just come to Austin and I haven't had anything to eat all week. Bless you for this food, and the work you do."

    – Anonymous Unhoused Shopper

  • " I didn't have financial trouble until I had my son... I was ashamed to come down here, but my friends said, ' You've been working your whole life paying taxes. You need help now so don't be ashamed'. I figured they were right. The food here is a huge help."

  • "I volunteer at Micah 6 and get the help when I need it. It's a very good resource for people in need of help. When we were homeless and had no job, Micah 6 really helped us. At our crisis we may not have money but we never was hungry. We had food for us every week with Micah 6's help."

  • "The children in Austin Sunshine Camp's Challenge Program have learned so much from volunteering at Micah 6. They've made studying hunger and homelessness a year-long project. Thank you, Micah 6!"

    – Cathy Runnels, Challenge Program Coordinator

  • “I love delivering all our bags and boxes of food donations to the Micah 6 Food Pantry at University Presbyterian on Thursday evenings – the big smile of the pantry manager’s face, the helping hands and laughter of the volunteers unloading my car, and across the alley people lined up for food and community at God’s Family Dinner. All of it, food for God’s most vulnerable people.”

    – Alana Mallard, the Church @ Highland Park Volunteer
