Hope for a better tomorrow
Hundreds of homeless and hurting men, women, and children with nowhere else to turn come through the doors of the Mission every day. Their stories are as different as they are.

“When I first came, I really liked it because it was different than the other shelters I had stayed in. The Union Mission is not just a shelter but it’s like ‘a land of opportunity.’ It was easy. They gave me free food and all the essentials.”
