Bathroom Renovation

There are exciting things going on at Union Gospel Mission. Our very old bathroom upstairs is getting renovated! Our second floor bathroom consisted of two toilets and showers with some of the plumbing dating back to 1906, our new bathroom will have three toilets and two showers. This will make it much easier on our guests. If you would like to support our bathroom project you can send a donation in the mail and designate it for the “bathroom” or you can click on the following link and give online. Just type “Bathroom” in the note section.

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.

FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK

My thanks to all who have supported and continue to support the Union Gospel Mission and Friendship House here in Aberdeen, helping us make a
difference in people’s lives every day. It is truly rewarding to help families and individuals with the help of your partnership and prayers.

I am happy to report that our upstairs bathroom remodeling project is moving forward. Demolition work started on May 27 and is moving quickly! When this project is completed, the men staying here will be able to start their days without the long wait for the bathroom! I’m so grateful to those of
you who have supported this project. There is still time to give, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

I pray your summer and family gatherings have been blessed and safe so far. Thank you for your support.

“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you” (Philippians 1:3).

In His Service,

Charley Capoeman

LOVE ONE ANOTHER . . .

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another” (John 13:34).

VISION . . .

The vision of the Union Gospel Mission of Grays Harbor (UGM) is to see Graduates that are self-supporting members of the community; the community viewing UGM as part of the solution to the problem, and greater understanding that Christ is the source of life transformation.

MISSION . . .

The mission of the Union Gospel Mission of Grays Harbor (UGM) is to provide effective programs that deal with the cause and aid in the prevention of homelessness, to tell the story of UGM clearly so that the community is engaged; and to offer life transformation through Christ to all.

Falling temperatures will put lives at risk this winter. With average lows of 36 degrees in Grays Harbor – our neighbors are at risk of hypothermia. No one should have to live in a car… in a tent… or outside in the cold.

Being homeless means living with constant fear and uncertainty, with your support, no man, woman or child in Grays Harbor has to be hungry or homeless this Winter.

With your help we can offer hot meals, safe shelter and Christ-centered care at the Mission this winter… and all year ’round. Thank you!
