Donors Make the Difference
We are driven by a belief that everyone deserves food, shelter, and hope. We know that these fundamental supports give our guests the strength and belief needed to move toward a better tomorrow. We will not rest until every guest is rested, restored, and ready to realize their goals. If you share our belief and want to support our mission, please consider making a donation to the Union Gospel Mission.
Your support can come in many forms—whether it’s a monetary contribution to fund meals, shelter, and critical services, or in-kind donations such as food, clothing, and hygiene products. Every gift, large or small, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
