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 needed. It 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.

Desert icons collapse as southwestern US gets pummeled with rain and flooding

There are stretches of high desert in northwestern New Mexico where Mother Nature has sculpted otherworldly forms using wind, rain and the passage of time.

As Congress returns to Democrats, one likely casualty emerges: Trump’s District of Columbia projects

WASHINGTON (AP) — In his first public appearance after an election that soundly repudiated his policies, President Donald Trump turned to a topic both familiar and, given the context, surprising: not his policies or politics, but his efforts to remake pieces of the city that is the backdrop to his presidency. Despite Trump’s affinity for […]
