Since 1902
helping people rebuild their lives through a variety of time-tested and proven life-changing programs.
Our History
Founded in 1902, Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities (UGMTC) is a Christian ministry dedicated to serving people facing homelessness, poverty, or addiction in our community. By meeting physical, spiritual, emotional, and educational needs, our Mission is changing lives!
The Mission helps people rebuild their lives by providing safe shelter, nutritious food, medical care, and a broad variety of life-changing programs for children and adults.
Our goal is to encourage each person to value themselves as God values them, to see the gifts they have to offer the world, and to help them seek out a bright future as a fully contributing member of our community.

MEET THE NEED
Give a Ticket of Hope
We invite you to watch this short and informative video, print a Ticket of Hope to keep in your car or purse and be confident that the next time you meet a person who is homeless face-to-face you will be able to provide the best help that anyone could ever offer.
