Life Changing Programs
Friendship House
Friendship House provides hope and help for single women and mothers with children. Whether they are seeking shelter because of homelessness, addiction, or financial problems, women and children find the physical, emotional and spiritual support they need each year in our safe, family-oriented housing.
Men’s Mission
Each night, more than 38 men can receive shelter, a shower and clean clothing in our men’s shelter, along with prayer and counsel with our staff. So much more than an emergency shelter, our Heron Street facility becomes a place of transformation out of the cycle of homelessness. Each man can stabilize as he receives basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter, and is able to focus on the issues that brought him to the mission.
New Foundation Discipleship Program
New Foundation is a one-year, voluntary, spiritually-based recovery program designed to help participants develop the skills they need to overcome addiction and other challenges that hold them in bondage. Over a year’s time, men and women received the specialized attention and training they need to get back on their feet.

As a Rescue Mission, we often confront the idea that all we do is provide a haven for the homeless, give them a meal and pray over them. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Our mission services are designed to deal with all the areas of homelessness, from those on the edge who are about to lose everything to those who have been living on the streets for years and everything in between.
The path to recovery is different for each person, but recovery is what we are all about at Union Gospel Mission Grays Harbor.
Dear Friends,
It has been a life-changing experience going from being a forester for 19 years to becoming the director of Union Gospel Mission three years ago. I want to thank my wife of 42 years and my family for the support and prayer I’ve received. I’m also thankful to the community, volunteers and churches who support the Mission.
I gave my life to Jesus Christ and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior 36 years ago. I have always had a heart for the lost, and now in my third year as the Mission’s director, I can see how, through the years, God was preparing for the place He has me in now.
I had never been a leader—only a follower—and now God has placed me in the director’s position with a staff of 14 people to lead in the work and ministry of the Union Gospel Mission as we strive to meet the needs of the least, the last, and the lost.
My vision for Union Gospel Mission is to help people in need; I want to see broken lives restored. My thanks to all of you who come alongside of us and partner with us to help us accomplish this.
