WHO WE ARE

Union Gospel Mission first opened its doors 80+ years ago

We sought to be a light in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, offering soup and a few shelter beds. Today, we provide a hand-up to life-changing hope at eight locations across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Through the years, we’ve built strong relationships with the people we serve. We’ve learned so much about their challenges, and grown with their needs. Today, we’re connected to other service providers and work within a network of care.

We meet people wherever they’re at

A man who has been living under a bridge for years. A woman fleeing domestic abuse. A single parent who just lost their job. Everybody’s circumstances and needs are different, but we believe unconditional compassion can lead to transformation.

We walk alongside people every step of the way

Though many of our connections are made around the dining table, we offer more than just meals.

Our continuum of care includes a comprehensive range of programs and services that lovingly journey with people as they rebuild their lives:

Street Level Outreach Programs : Offers practical assistance, counselling, spiritual guidance and referrals.
Meals, Shelter & Clothing : Restores dignity, giving community members the freedom to focus on rebuilding their lives, while connecting to other UGM programs.
Alcohol & Drug Recovery : Offers freedom from addiction through live-in programs, where participants are equipped with tools to transform their lives.
Career Development Services : Helps people identify their strengths, build skills and increase the chances of finding meaningful work.
Social & Affordable Housing : Provides stability for families and individuals, helping re-establish them in the community.
Children & Family Services : Guides the next generation through afterschool programs, summer camp sponsorship, mentorship and life skills workshops.

We partner with churches to assist in transforming their communities

For decades, the local church has faithfully supported UGM through volunteering, donations and prayer. We’re grateful to have the opportunity to partner in reciprocity – providing churches with workshops, training, grants and other resources to strengthen programs in their own communities that help overcome poverty, homelessness and addiction.

OUR VISION

Demonstrating the love of Christ, UGM is determined to transform communities by overcoming poverty, homelessness and addiction – one life at a time.

OUR MISSION

UGM is determined to restore the God-given dignity of people by sharing and demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ, providing without discrimination:

Meals, shelter, outreach and chaplaincy services that relieve suffering and renew hope.
Life recovery programs that offer freedom from addictive lifestyles.
Education and job preparation that equip for successful living.
Affordable housing that fosters community and personal contribution.
Preventative programs that build healthy families.
