A big thank you to Genesis Church for joining us and serving lunch at the UGM Men’s Shelter! We loved having you with us, and your team brought so much joy and encouragement to our residents.

We’re especially grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside you and for the way your kids helped brighten the day of the men at the shelter. Thank you for giving your time and being willing to serve our community!

Sometimes changing lives starts with changing a law.

When Dr. Dexter Amend opened Union Gospel Mission's free medical clinic in 1992, one major obstacle remained: malpractice insurance made it difficult for doctors to volunteer. Thanks to legislation championed by a UGM board member serving in the Washington State Legislature, that barrier was removed, allowing more medical professionals to serve those in need.

More than 30 years later, that legacy continues. Today, Annie Crain leads a dedicated team of volunteer doctors, nurses, therapists, and other medical professionals who provide compassionate care to our residents, carrying on a tradition of service made possible by faithful leaders and generous volunteers.

A special thank you to our Diamond Sponsor Poe Asphalt Paving, our Compassion Sponsor Altmeyer Financial Group, and our Heritage Sponsors State Bank Northwest True Hope Church P1FCU QUINN McConkey Auction Group for your generous support of UGM's mission. Your partnership helps make stories like this possible and allows us to continue serving our community for generations to come.

Check out UGM’s top needs for September!

Every month, our shelters and services have specific needs that help us care for men, women, and children in our community. We’re grateful for the generosity of our community, which helps us meet immediate needs and support individuals as they work toward a new life. If you’d like to help, consider donating an item from our August needs list!

Please drop off shelter-specific donations directly at the shelter or location, where that need was requested, so we can make sure your donation gets to the people who need it most. (Drop off days are Monday through Friday)

Since opening our doors, the UGM LC Valley Shelter has welcomed 301 individuals—138 single men, 108 single women, 15 mothers, and 40 children.

We’ve seen residents take meaningful steps toward stability and lasting change. Four men have transitioned into UGM’s 18–24 month recovery program in Spokane, one woman has enrolled in the Spokane recovery program, and one mother with her two children is preparing to enter the CDA recovery program. Additionally, 15% of residents who entered unemployed have secured employment, while 70% of residents who have exited the shelter have transitioned into safe housing.

LC Valley, thank you for welcoming UGM and supporting this ministry. Your prayers, generosity, and partnership are helping provide hope, opportunity, and a pathway toward a brighter future for our neighbors!
