Mission: Union Mission Ministries, Inc. is set apart by the Spirit of God to preach the Gospel and meet physical and emotional needs throughout West Virginia through the provision of shelter, clothing, food, counseling, and structured programs for the poor, the needy, and those bound and bruised by addictive lifestyles.

We Feed People. It's what we do.


Areas Served: Impacted by 5/09 Floods

Fee For Service: No


This organization provides Temporary or Permanent Service? Permanent

Notes:

Union Mission's scope of ministry is wide but largely consolidated in five established areas:

Brookside Family Life Center - A residential program for single women with children as well as single mothers-to-be
Union Mission Crossroads -
Our downtown rescue shelter facility for men

Union Mission: Foundations -
Our discipleship program for men committed to addiction recovery.

Union Mission Family Services -
Offering food, clothing, and counseling to struggling families in 17 West Virginia counties

Union Mission Outreach -
Satisfying physical and spiritual hunger in 46 West Virginia counties

Union Mission Thrift Store - Turning bargains into blessings

Union Mission ministers in other ways as needed, particularly in times of emergency; flood relief, for example, has been an area of ministry in which the mission has participated significantly in recent years.

Union Mission receives absolutely no local, state, or federal support of any kind. Since 1911, our freedom to address the physical and spiritual needs of thousands of people has been purchased solely with the donations of those who choose to partner with us financially. We hope that you will support this ministry through prayer as well as donation and volunteering as we go about "Helping Hurting People in Jesus' Name."

Many West Virginia families need some major help. Eyewitness News is teaming up with Union Mission and Kroger to aid in the relief efforts. You can help us help flood victims by dropping off supplies. Victims need drinking water, bleach, cleaning supplies and non-perishable food items. At this time NO clothing is needed.

Drop off any of these items at our Eyewitness News studios in Charleston and Huntington or at any local Kroger Store.
