Donate Goods

Your donations make it possible for men, women, and children in the Twin Cities to find hope and a second chance.

Each year we receive thousands of pounds of donations for Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities! We are grateful for your generosity. Please read through the list of items below that we can and cannot accept. We can work together to provide the best care for our guests and residents this way.

If you would like to donate non-perishable food items, please bring them to Food Services at our Men’s Campus Location Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

New or gently used goods from the list (below) can be dropped off at the Donation Center located at Men’s Campus Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m.–1 p.m. Please keep in mind that when we receive items that we cannot use, it creates additional work for staff and volunteers. More information on our Printable Donation Drive Flyer.
