Men's Shelter

Our downtown Men's Shelter is located in a historic building near Pioneer Square. It's what most people think of when they hear the words "Union Gospel Mission."

This is one of many places where we continue the work we've been doing for 90 years — and here we start with the basics of feeding and housing people in greatest need.

We like to think of the doorway at our Men's Shelter as an entrance into a changed life

Men are encouraged to join the Enhanced Shelter Program, Bridge Recovery Program, or Link Program. We offer these services and programs to help men find stability, with the hope that some will chose to enter one of our long-term recovery programs.

Volunteering is more than a service opportunity. It's the chance to give hope, healing, and help save lives. You can help serve meals, greet guests, tutor, and/or teach new skills. We have some way for just about everyone to serve.
