Union Gospel Mission...

Help us stock the Union Gospel Mission with necessities.

It’s been bitterly cold – and just imagine being out on the streets every night, walking around, huddling with the only belongings you have just to keep warm.

The Seattle Union Gospel Mission is on the front lines every day – going out in vans to give people jackets, gloves, socks and underwear – essentials to staying warm in 20 degree and below weather.

We are going out with emergency rescue crews from the UGM later this month. Ron and Don Nation, we need your help to overwhelm them with their most needed items.

Our goal for Seattle Union Gospel Mission

• 500 pairs of socks
• 100 pairs of gloves
• 50 pairs of jeans
• 100 personal care items – like razors, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste

You can help us stock up the Union Gospel Mission by ordering these items through their wish list on Amazon. 

Cash donations are also neededIt costs the UGM $2.12 to save one life this winter.

Leave a message for us in the comments below with what you’ve donated, and let’s show the Seattle Union Gospel Mission what the Ron and Don Nation is made of.
