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.

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:

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
