In Union County, many of our neighbors face the realities of poverty and a shortage of affordable housing, two of the biggest drivers of homelessness and food insecurity.

We’re grateful to spend our days working toward solutions that make these episodes brief, rare, and one time only. Being part of that progress, together with our community, is something we feel lucky to do every day!

As a volunteer, a guest, or a teammate with an idea, there's a place for you here: https://unionshelter.org/about-us/
