Mission Statement

The heart of Union Gospel Mission ministry is to glorify Jesus Christ through the evange-lization and regeneration of the urban poor, while worshipping with acts of mercy. To serve these ends, the Mission provides a Christ centered environment, clothing, food, shelter, spiritual training, and a recovery program.

52+ Years of History

In 1962, eight Christian businessmen were led by God to create a place where alcoholic men of the city could hear the Gospel and receive a second chance at life. Local churches banded together to create a Mission on Second Street in what is now “Old Sacramento”. A few years later, the Mission moved to our pre-sent location at 400 Bannon Street.

Present

365 days a year, the Mission remains a shining light providing more than 9,000 monthly meals, clothing, hygiene items, shelter, in-house rehabilitation program, and a life-changing gospel message to the homeless and poor of Sacramento.

None of the food, items, and services pro-vided by the Mission requires a payment of any kind.

Growing Need

The needs of the homeless and the poor continue to increase each year.

The Mission operates without tax or government support of any kind, funded entirely by generous donations of individu-als and organizations in the community. Your contributions make it possible for us to help people make meaningful life changes and become contributing mem-bers of society. Some of the items needed throughout the year, and listed

online at www.ugmsac.com:

Clothing, Socks, Undergarments Backpacks, Sleeping Bags, Tarps Hygiene Items & First Aid Supplies Seasonal Coats and Blankets Food Donations

Our Pledge of Ministry

To introduce the homeless and families that are struggling to Jesus Christ and give them hope in finding long-term solutions to their problems.

To help the poor in the most cost-effective way possible.

To keep our supporters informed about how their gifts are being used, and what they are accomplishing.

To maintain community trust through accountability and good stewardship. (Our audited financial statement is pre-pared by an independent certified, accounting agency).

Matthew 25:35-40

‘For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was na-ked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ Then the righteous will an-swer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Our 9-month in-house drug and alcohol re-habilitation program is free of charge and accommodates 24 men. Our staff teaches from the Bible in a structured curriculum. Our chaplains challenge the men, daily, to develop Christ-like behavior, with one-on-one counseling sessions. Many men’s lives are being transformed!

Eagle’s Nest Ranch

A 40-acre Ranch in Sacramento County owned by the Mission. Operated by a general manager overseeing the men in various stages of rehabili-tation. They raise livestock, poultry and garden. However, the seeds planted are not just agricul-tural; spiritual seeds and growth through Bible studies, counseling and mentoring in Christ.

Food Box Program

Twice weekly, we supply food boxes to families, and the elderly, who are struggling to make ends meet. For Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas we distribute a bountiful holiday meal. Please con-sider donating turkeys, hams and various items that are needed to fill these food boxes!

Women’s Clothing Closet

Homeless and poverty-stricken women are minis-tered to every Thursday with Bible Study, food and a variety of essential items such as clothing, purses, shoes, and toiletries to assist them with their daily needs, help them prepare for work; even clothing, formula, and diapers for their children.

Throughout the year, the Mission hosts special events and outreaches to give the homeless additional support, care, resources, and to see the love of Christ!
