BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Without volunteers donating their time and energy to the Mission, we would not be able to offer the many expanded programs and services that allow our brothers and sisters to recover and experience our Heavenly Father’s unconditional love. Volunteering at one of the UGM Dallas shelters is a practical way to put feet to His love.

Thanks for Volunteering
One of the ways to donate to UGM Dallas is through volunteer work. Here at the Mission, we are grateful for the support of our compassionate and reliable volunteers, many of whom are professionals utilizing their unique skills to serve clients individually and in groups. These individuals help us serve our disabled vets and the homeless men, women and children here in the Dallas community.
