Needs Met. Lives Transformed.

At City Union Mission, we see this promise lived out daily. In moments of fear, hunger, and uncertainty, God shows up through people like you.

Whether it`s a hot meal, a warm bed, or a word of encouragement, every act of kindness is a reminder that no one is forgotten and no need is beyond His reach.

Thank you for being part of the way He provides.

Wondering how to help Kansas City’s homeless neighbors? Start here.

Homelessness can feel overwhelming but change begins with each of us.

At City Union Mission, we believe that everyone deserves dignity, hope, and a path forward. And there are real, practical ways you can make a difference today:
💛 Donate essentials – Items like underwear, canned goods, and coffee meet daily needs in our shelters.
🍽️ Serve a meal – A warm plate of food and a kind word go a long way.
🧼 Give financially – Even a small gift helps provide shelter, clothing, and case support.
🙏 Pray and share – Your prayers and your voice spread awareness and invite others to care.

You don’t need to do everything, just something. When one neighbor shows up for another, our city becomes a little stronger.

Let’s care for Kansas City. Together.

Every day, we serve men, women, and children who arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs.

Right now, we’re in urgent need of:
🧺 Underwear (sizes 2T–3X)
🥫 Canned goods to keep our pantry stocked
☕ Coffee — a simple comfort that goes a long way in our shelters

Your donation meets more than a physical need — it restores dignity, provides comfort, and reminds someone that they’re not alone.

If you’re able to give, thank you. Every contribution makes a real impact.

One night, a man named Craig approached a kind stranger at a gas station. With a heavy speech impediment and clear signs of distress, he struggled to ask for help.

He had been dropped off in the middle of a thunderstorm, alone, hungry, and afraid, with nowhere to go.

Thanks to the patience and compassion of that stranger, Craig was gently encouraged to share his story. He’s lived with a learning disability and anxiety for most of his life, and though it was hard for him to speak up, he showed incredible courage and humility.

That caring stranger called City Union Mission’s Men’s Shelter. Someone answered on the first ring.

By morning, Craig was safely dropped off and welcomed in. He was given a bed, a meal, and something even more powerful: a chance.

Craig called later that day to say thank you, still overwhelmed by the newness of it all, but deeply grateful.

We are too.

To everyone who sees those in need and stops to listen, support, and guide them to safety, thank you.
To every supporter who makes it possible for us to say “yes” when someone like Craig walks through our doors, you are the reason hope lives here.

Every day, we meet people who are carrying more than most can see, the weight of uncertainty, addiction, grief, loneliness, or fear.

At City Union Mission, we hold fast to this promise from Jesus.
Not just as a verse… but as a lifeline.

We offer more than shelter.
We offer space to breathe.
A place to begin again.
A path toward healing, guided by grace.

Whether someone walks through our doors for a warm meal or enters one of our long-term programs for life transformation, they are met with love, dignity, and the deep rest that only Christ can provide.

This summer, many children and youth are heading down to the Ozarks, stepping into a time they’ll never forget, a time full of fun, friendship, and the life-changing love of Jesus.

As camp continues, we ask for your prayers:
For safety, joy, and transformation in the lives of every camper
For strength, wisdom, and encouragement for our volunteers and staff
For open hearts that every child would encounter God’s deep love and leave knowing they are seen, valued, and never alone

We believe Camp CUMCITO is holy ground — a place where stories shift and hope takes root.

Thank you for lifting this ministry up in prayer. Your faithfulness makes a difference. 💛
