Union Gap Police Employees Foundation Provide members of our community support by being able to fill a temporary need. We are a non-profit that was established in 2023.

All board members consist of employees of the Union Gap Police Department. Board Members are Curtis Santucci-President Rebecca Pina- Vice President Rudy Jimenez- Treasurer Amber Hoyt- Secretary Gregory Cobb- Ex Officio

The purpose of the Union Gap Police Employee Foundation (“UGPEF”) is to operate as a non-profit corporation and shall operate exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The first mission of this foundation is to provide members of the Union Gap community support, by being able to fill a temporary need. These temporary needs are, but not limited to, food, housing, clothing, fuel or other transportation needs. At times, we may also use funds to support and promote families and their youth in forms of mentorship, school programs and character development. We also recognize that we can support community partnerships between departmental members and the community and that this is a positive and an effective means to help facilitate trust between both groups. We recognize that this foundation can provide benefits to the men and women that work within the Union Gap Police Department. In turn, those benefits have a direct impact to the community in which we all serve. Examples of support this foundation may provide is funding in law enforcement equipment and technology, because we know these investments are crucial in keeping our front-line officers and our community members safe from harm. A secondary benefit is supporting employee development. Employee development includes, but not limited to, employee wellness and continued training or education that supports their role in the community. Employee Wellness is defined as supporting employees to promote an understanding that they are seen, heard and appreciated and their continued physical and mental health is important to keeping our community safe. To maximize our impact on current efforts, we may seek to collaborate with other non-profit organizations which also fall under the 501(c)(3) section of the Internal Revenue Code and are operated exclusively for charitable purposes. The UGPEF members will not profit from this foundation.

Union Gap Officers continue to go the extra mile for our community. Many people ask what the Foundation does, and the answer is simple: we support our officers and help meet needs that would otherwise go unanswered. Thanks to generous donations, we can step in during those moments when immediate help matters most.

Just last month:

• An officer came across a vehicle stalled in the roadway. Instead of calling for a tow, foundation funds were used to buy a tank of gas and get the driver safely on their way.
• Officers met a woman who needed a meal and a pair of shoes. With her willingness to accept help, they used foundation resources to get her both—meeting the need right then and there.
• In another case, an officer contacted a family struggling with medical issues and finances. With only one vehicle, a newborn at home, and limited income, they were stretched thin. Foundation funds helped purchase groceries, and officers connected them with several local food banks.
These acts of service are possible because of the continued support of our community. Thank you to everyone who donates—you make a real difference, and we’re proud to show you how your generosity directly helps Union Gap families.

This last Saturday was a great community turnout. We sold out on our breakfest supplies and a lot of you purchased raffle tickets. Without this community support, we would not be able to give more back into the people. A BIG "thank you" from the foundation.

We still have raffle tickets for sale at $5 each. Stop by the station or talk with an officer to get yours today.

On June 5, three of our board members met with Mark Soptich, director of the Selah Naches Food Bank.

​Last December—following an incredible food drive with Union Gap Police Department and other city employees and the Union Gap School to prepare Christmas meal boxes—the Selah Naches Food Bank stepped in to help us fill a critical need for protein and extra items. In support of our shared mission, we recently provided the food bank with some funds to further our partnership and continue helping those in need.

​The Selah Naches Food Bank is an amazing operation with so many opportunities to get involved and volunteer. We are incredibly grateful for their continued support and collaboration! 🤝🥫
