The New Foundation Program is also available at Friendship House.

In Grays Harbor the need for shelter is great—even in a small community like ours. Over the past year, between the Mission and Friendship House, we have had an average of 50 people each night in our care. That means dozens of men, women, and children are no longer searching for a safe place to rest.

We are grateful that the Mission is here to meet those immediate needs. But what brings us even greater joy is that, through this ministry, many have discovered that there is a better path forward—one filled with hope, healing, and the love of Jesus Christ. Our mission statement says it best: Union Gospel Mission endeavors to meet the physical needs of the least, the last, and the lost while sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

At our Heron Street Facility at 405 East Heron in Aberdeen, more than 38 men each night are welcomed with a warm bed, a shower, clean clothing, and the listening ear of a staff member who is ready to pray or talk with them. But it is more than just an emergency shelter—for many, this becomes a place of transition, a stepping stone out of the cycle of homelessness. By first stabilizing with food, clothing, and shelter, men can begin to address the deeper issues that brought them here. For those who deeper transformation, we also offer the New Foundation Program, a Christ-centered recovery and discipleship journey.

All of these services are provided free of charge, made possible only through the generosity of our donors. Thanks to our donors, last year we were able to provide over 14,000 nights of safe shelter, and over 55,000 meals to men, women, and children.

If you would like to see firsthand how your investment changes lives, we warmly invite you to schedule a tour of our facilities. Call us at 360-533-1064—most who visit leave with a deeper appreciation for the impact their support is making in our community.
