Volunteer Needs at Union Gospel Mission

The Mission needs your help in December - and beyond....

Christmas is coming! What better way to celebrate the love that was given to us by giving back!

 Here are some immediate needs to prayerfully consider:

Mission (general)

·         Holiday Thank You calls – Spread the Joy of Christmas by helping us thank those who serve alongside you. This may be done from home as your schedule allows. We will provide you with all information and support needed. You can do this with your warm slippers on!

·         Administrative and Reception help needed at our South Othello Campus

Seniors

·         Senior Ministries needs leaders and participants to bring fellowship groups into Residential facilities throughout Seattle. You will be given training and materials; the Love and Fellowship is all yours!

Men’s Shelter

·         Prepare and drop off Sandwiches (120) for Search and Rescue. This can be done from home in advance with your supplies (what a blessing!) or from our kitchen between 6:30 and 8:00pm on the night selected.

·         Morning Watch van ministry every weekday from 6 to 9am. Respond to requests from downtown businesses and concerned neighbors and assist in encouraging those sleeping out of doors to come in to the Mission.

Women and Children’s Shelter (Hope Place)
·         Hope Place Graduation 12/14. Childcare help needed from 5:45-8:30pm
·         Hope Place needs 120 Sack Lunches made and delivered at Noon on Saturday.
·         Groups needed for Hope Place Christmas Bring and Serve for 80 people on Christmas Day
·         Tutoring for children

Prison Ministries

·         Prison Ministries – Christmas is a difficult time for those incarcerated and their families; you can help in many ways, ask how!

·         Prison Ministry needs volunteers to teach a  Life Skills Class

Youth Reach Out Center

·         Friday Late Night-volunteers needed to bring food and interact with kids (8pm to Midnight). Kid friendly and great for a group!

To volunteer for one of these opportunities or to re-engage with one of the Mission’s programs, call the volunteer office at 206.723.0767 or send us an email at volunteer@ugm.org.  Also remember to tell friends and families about these needs! Thank you.
