Transforming Lives and Ending Homelessness One Person at a Time
We believe the first step in ending homelessness is to heal and empower the person through Jesus Christ.
We transform lives by meeting needs and empowering people.
Physical Needs
Every person who comes to UGM will be well-fed, clothed, medically treated, and housed in excellent facilities.
Spiritual Discipleship
We share the good news of the Gospel with all. We provide discipleship, biblical community, and counselling to overcome trauma or addiction that may be contributing to homelessness.
Reintegration Services
We provide a path for people in our care to reintegrate into society, providing vocational training, employment opportunities, transitional housing, childcare, and more.

Larry’s Story
L O S T
Larry was on parole in a new community, and he had no support. Alone and hungry, Larry visited the Union Gospel Mission for the first time. He was greeted by kind volunteers and received immediate assistance, but he wasn’t ready to make the changes needed to transform his life. For the next few years, Larry visited UGM when times got bad. Eventually, he decided it was time to join the Discipleship Program and experience real change.
F O U N D
Through the Discipleship Program, Larry was introduced to a life-changing relationship with Jesus. He was discipled spiritually and given skills to re-enter the working world. He returned to his passion for art and became a successful local artist. He has had two shows, and his art has appeared on local television. He now supports himself through his art and lives independently.
