The Union Gospel Mission

Since 1962 the Union Gospel Mission has provided food, clothing, shelter and a life-changing Gospel message to the homeless of Sacramento.

Founded by a group of concerned Christian men with a staff of two, the Union Gospel Mission has grown to include 16 fulltime employees who serve more than 6,000 meals monthly to hungry men, women and children. Every night, we offer more than 80 men a warm, safe place to sleep. Each year, we distribute more than 28,000 items of clothing. Toiletries, sundries, haircuts and styling are available for women and children, and we regularly provide food baskets to those in need.

While this material sustenance is important, we also believe in feeding the spirit. Nightly nondenominational services and volunteer outreach programs provide support for those who rarely hear an encouraging word. Men who are inspired to make a real change in their lives can take advantage of a free, nine-month drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, complete with transitional housing, job placement and follow-up counseling.

We are able to carry on this mission thanks to the generosity of the caring individuals and churches who donate to support our work. Your contributions make it possible for us to help people make meaningful life changes and become contributing members of society.

Words On The Street - Look for God in Others
	One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books... As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes....... Full Story >>
