Seattle's Union Gospel Mission:

Seattle's Union Gospel Mission is a private faith-based organization that helps the community reach out with compassion to those who have lost hope. And as a community, we empower one another to build, lead and give back. The Mission has taken a collaborative, partnership approach from the start. The Mission was born of necessity during the Great Depression when hundreds of people were going hungry and homeless in Seattle. Local business leaders and churches came together to change all that. 78 years later, we're still a change agent. Our expertise, trustworthiness and faithful commitment to service have brought us national recognition.
