Union
Gospel Mission works to meet the needs of homeless men, women and children
in the Twin Cities and public support is key to sustaining and advancing
Union Gospel Mission’s passion for changing lives. Each year, roughly 85% of
every dollar spent on operating needs comes from generous public support. If
you would like to help the homeless people who come to us for assistance,
please consider one of the alternatives listed below:
