Since 1924, we’ve offered hope to men, women and children struggling with huge challenges. Homelessness. Addiction. Poverty.
We start by extending a welcoming hand and helping to meet their immediate needs – food, shelter, clothing.
From there, we offer them a new foundation for their lives through Christ – and life-changing programs that move them toward physical, emotional and spiritual wholeness.
Needs met. Lives transformed.
It’s only possible because of your support!

We hold in prayer the families, first responders, and communities forever touched by the events of September 11th. May we carry their memory in our hearts and reflect their courage through acts of kindness, compassion, and service in our own communities.

At City Union Mission, lives are being transformed every day.
During a recent evening devotional, one of our residents made the decision to surrender their life to Jesus as Lord and Savior.
This is the heart of our Mission, and one of the greatest fruits of the work God has called us to.
For 101 years, He has been using this ministry to bring hope, healing, and eternal life to men, women, and children in Kansas City.

Meet Markel, a 9-year-old at our Family Center whose story touched our hearts.
During a tour, he asked our Safety & Security Administrator, Troy Foster, if he would be his “big brother and football coach.” With gratitude, Troy said yes.
Troy then took Markel and his brother to a football camp and out to ice cream after.
Markel’s story doesn’t stop there; he recently shared that he’s getting baptized at a local church he invited his mother to attend. Now, his whole family is being drawn closer to Christ through his faith.
Stories like Markel’s remind us why the Mission exists, and how God has worked through 101 years of impact in Kansas City.
Please join us in praying for Markel and for every young life we serve. Positive role models and strong faith can shape futures.

Quarterly at City Union Mission, we celebrate Spiritual Emphasis Week, a time of revival for our CLP staff and participants.
The focus? Staying rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 🌿
Our theme came from John 15: Abiding in Christ, and Chaplain Emmanuel Bythfia reminded us that life and strength come when we stay connected to the vine.
💙 Spiritual growth is a key part of transformation here at the Mission, and it’s part of how we’ve been making an impact for 101 years.

✨Meet Codie! ✨
As the Intake Specialist at our Women & Family Center, Codie is often the very first face our guests see, a face of compassion, kindness, and Christ’s love.
"I get to welcome every woman who walks through our doors with open arms, a listening ear, and a peaceful place to rest. My office has even been lovingly nicknamed ‘the crying room’ because it’s where burdens begin to lift and hearts can finally exhale."
Codie’s own journey with Jesus began in childhood, but it wasn’t until 10 years ago that she picked up a Bible and stepped into a church. Since then, her walk with Christ has shaped every part of how she serves with intentionality, joy, and deep compassion.
Every guest tour, intake conversation, and comforting embrace is about more than process, it’s about restoring dignity and inviting each woman into healing and hope.
Help us continue this life-changing work.
Every guest tour, intake conversation, and comforting embrace is about more than process; it’s about restoring dignity and inviting each woman into healing and hope.
Your support allows Codie and our team to keep extending the love of Jesus, one welcome at a time.
