EVENTS
As a nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives, we support individuals experiencing homelessness, addiction, and domestic violence by providing shelter, care, and hope for a brighter future. Our events bring together community members, supporters, and volunteers to raise awareness, fund vital services, and empower those in need to rebuild their lives. Join us in making a difference through meaningful connections and transformative action.
MISSION MEETUPS
Mission Meetups are quarterly events designed to bring the community together in support of the Union Gospel Mission’s life-changing work. Each Meetup focuses on a different aspect of our mission, offering a closer look at the services we provide to those experiencing homelessness, addiction, and domestic violence. These micro-events are an opportunity to raise awareness, provide funding, and engage in hands-on volunteer opportunities that directly impact our most vulnerable neighbors.
Join us as we connect, learn, and take action to make a lasting difference in our city.
