Local men dream of a better life… but dozens are still waiting to start.
The Challenge
The face of homelessness is changing here in Kansas.
More people are struggling to find affordable housing.
More people are living below or “on the edge” of the poverty line.
More people with mental illness are living on the streets.
Right now, dozens of men are eager to join our Solid Ground program to transform their lives, but are on a waiting list until space becomes available. Homeless men need a safe place to stay and emergency services, but we just don’t have the room.
For more than 70 years, the Union Rescue Mission has ministered to the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of hurting people in our community.
But the need is growing – we must expand our ministry.
“I’m really grateful for the broken road that brought me here. Now I’m on a better path… I have direction and goals. I want to spend my next 10 years helping to feed people and giving back to the Mission for what they’ve done for me.”
Matthew | A working guest who cooks in our kitchen
We have exciting updates coming soon!
The Vision
Our Dreams Rebuilt Campaign will help meet these growing needs by DOUBLING our current capacity!
With your help today, we can expand in these two critical areas:
“When my wife died, I started drinking too much and lost my job. I was unable to work and had no place to live, so I ended up at the Mission. I started to read the Bible every day and became closer to God, applying Biblical principles to my everyday life. Now I see the light at the end of the tunnel… I’m not hopeless anymore.”
