NEW! Listen to Voices from the Street, the
Sacramento Union Gospel Mission radio ministry on our website.
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.
